Linocut design: fox in tall grass, harbour, sunflower head

Linocut is carved and printed by hand: a fox in tall grass, a harbour of boats and gulls, a sunflower head. These nine print each as a single black block, reduction colour print and a white-line print. Ask for a hare or a lighthouse instead and the same three approaches carry it.

• a craft fair or market print
• a Christmas or holiday card
• a kitchen or hallway wall
• a nature journal or field guide page
• a gift print for a printmaker

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?

Each print is drawn at A3 proportions with an even margin, so it prints clean at A3 or scales to a card size.

Can I get a different subject, like a hare?

Yes — the direction field takes any subject, such as a hare or a lighthouse, and the same three printing approaches render it.

What's the difference between the three approaches?

Single black is one bold ink colour on white paper; reduction colour builds up several ink layers from the same carved block; white line carves the linework itself out of a solid inked block, leaving white marks on colour.

Does this look like a genuine hand-pulled print?

The bold cut marks, ink texture and slight registration character are drawn to read as a genuine hand-pulled linocut, not a flat digital illustration.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
