I have decided to begin my work with primary research drawing the people around me, and produce a drypoint and a lino print. Then from this I will see who influences me and how I can use there way of working in my work.
Drypoint printing;
In drypoint the surface of the plate is scratched, gouged, punctured, scraped or abraded, but the material itself is not removed, it is just pushed to the side, forming a kind of curl. Thus the lines will present a metal burr which, when looked at through a magnifying glass, shows up as a kind of broken metallic wave, like the ridges of a ploughed field.It is this 'burr' which holds the ink, and gives a drypoint line, or area, its typical velvety appearance. I will use these techniques in my work to show the movement in an image, so it shows depth.

Lino Printing; Lino Printing or Lino Cutting as it is also known is a block printing technique. Lino printing is quite a simple process. It is a great way to introduce children to the art of printmaking. Lino Printing is a popular print making technique using by many professional artists. Lino printing was originally held in low esteem by the art world until Pablo Picasso made a series of lino prints in the 1950s
