A linocut is a printmaking technique where an image is carved into a linoleum block. The artist removes the areas of the block that they do not want to print, leaving the raised parts to hold ink. Once the design is ready, ink is rolled onto the block, and paper is pressed against it to create the final print. This method is popular among artists for its simplicity and versatility. Linocuts can produce bold, graphic images and are often used in illustrations, fine art, and crafts. The process allows for multiple copies of the same design, making it accessible for various projects.
