This week I compared linocut and woodcut. Both are relief-print. First you cut away the parts of the wood/linoleum that you don't want coloured. Then you roll ink on the high parts of the wood/linoleum and this you press on paper. I tried some different background to see wether it would affect the outcome of the lino/woodcut. The linocut turned out to be much easier to press on different types of paper or backgrounds. The woodcut worked best on very thin and absorbing ricepaper. If the paper was a little to thick, the ink would stick to it and you'd get a very light print.
