Beginner’s Guide to Linocut: 10 print projects with top techniques to get you started

I bought 2 Lino print books for myself, this one is by far the best for beginners. It gives clear instruction and 10 projects to begin with, which is great for someone like me who has little imagination or skill at drawing. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a list of exact Lino tools eg Pfeil L11/0.5 etc for when one wants to upgrade from essdee/speedball starter kits.

I was attracted by the fish on the back cover because I am doing an under water project. As it was cheap and the style looked interesting I bought the book good value for money RRP is £10. Well produced Search book, shiny pages and most pages have 2-3 quality photos. I am not a beginner but a 'learner'. As such I found the book well worth looking . To see the finished blocks unusual and you can see how clean the cuts are and how they are arranged. It motivated me to go and get new tools, knowing what sizes I should be looking for. The photo technique for designing is interesting. I have developed it further to take images of my design and will then reduce them to the size needed for the final print. It is well written and would be a good book for beginners - better than most! There are stencils for all the projects. or. if you like me, be inspired to be more independent and do my own designing and not trace images from elsewhere. You can see there is something more here than just for beginners! Can't get over how cheap.... although it is relatively thin.p.s have taken photos of selection of Guylian chocolates and these will make a really good design. Would not have thought about this without having read this book.... went out to specially to buy the chocolates...no other book has done that to me!!

Ideal for beginners

Good book for beginners

Nicely packaged. Great sound quality for the . Exceeded my expectations.

Wonderful book with loads of great ideas. I just wish I had ordered a big stack of lino at the same time as I can't wait to try the projects out!

Great book for a complete beginner. I bought a starter kit and this book. Really great step by step instructions and fun projects. Highly recommended.

It's been so many years since I did any lino cutting that I thought it'd be good to get a beginner's book. Thus one is an odd mix of totally basic and a bit mor complex (the bubbles around the whale as a first cut?). I'd have liked to see more about the cutting tools and techniques.

I just finished reading the book! It is fantastic! I am new to the world of linocut, but after reading this well illustrated book, i seal confident enough to get started. The directions are very clear and thorough. They do not leave me with unanswered-questions. The author provides designs so that you can start right away and not feel intimidated because you are not an artist. These designs are simple, varied, very attractive and the offer makes many suggestions to stimulate your imagination by making some changes to them and use them in different ways. They can be used for projects of all sorts as well as gifts. This is a very motivating book which leaves me very excited to try!

If you are learning Lino printmaking this is a good book to start.

Good book with clear cut introduction and some nice projects. Recommended

Lo he devuelto porque es muy elemental, demasiado simple. Puede valer para un principiante absoluto pero si se quiere avanzar en la técnica del linograbado este libro no permite llegar muy lejos.

Ottimo per principianti, non essenziale per i più esperti.
