Linocut is a printmaking technique that involves carving an image into a linoleum block. Artists use special tools to cut away areas of the linoleum, leaving the raised parts to hold ink. Once the design is complete, ink is applied to the surface, and the block is pressed onto paper to create a print. This method is popular for its simplicity and versatility, allowing for bold, graphic designs. Linocut can be used to produce multiple copies of the same image, making it a favored choice for artists and illustrators looking to create unique prints efficiently.
