These are a couple of printings I did of a bald eagle. First, I had to draw the eagle, then transfer it onto a rubber brick like thing. Then, I cut out all of the parts that you see that do not have paint on them, like linocut. Then I rolled paint onto the rubber and pressed it onto the paper. It was hard at first to figure out the right amount of paint to put on the rubber and how much pressure to put on the rubber when transferring the paint to the paper so no paint would get into the cracks that I cut out. I learned that it is good to try different things and different methods of cutting, transferring, and pressing so I could find the best way to do it. The hardest part was figuring out how I would show the feathers on the head of the eagle, but I think it turned out pretty well overall.
