A hand-printed original linocut of a goldfinch perched among teasel seed heads, printed in ochre oil-based ink.
The print is also featured in my book, Printing Birds and Wildlife in Linocut.
Inspiration
I was inspired to make this print after watching goldfinches perched on and feeding from teasel seed heads in Northumberland.

How It’s Made
Each print is individually hand-printed in my York studio using ochre oil-based ink and soft white paper. I re-ink the lino block for every print, so each one has its own subtle variations and character.

How to Take Care of Your Original Print
This original print is created using professional, high-quality oil-based inks and watercolours, along with acid-free paper and mounts. While the inks and watercolours have excellent lightfastness, I recommend hanging your print out of direct sunlight. Read more on my FAQs page.
