Monday hero: Norbertine Bresslern-Roth

I am fascinated by the work of the Austrian artist Bresslern-Roth (1891-1971) as I have just about finished work on a print of a sheep's head.

Bresslern-Roth was a master in capturing animals in linocut.

For every colour, more of the image is cut away, so you start cutting away what needs to be left white.

My print isn't a linocut but a template print, but the process is similar.

And I haven't yet seen a print from her with a sheep, but I can learn a lot from Bresslern-Roth!
