15 Lino’s in 30 Days

September is only a few months behind us and it feels like I just finished the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge during which I drew/ painted in the Amsterdamse Bos (Amsterdam Woods) for 30 days.
Now January is upon us and again the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenging days are nigh.
This time I decided to do something different. I’ve been planning to pick up lino cutting for the longest time so for next January I rename the challenge: ’15 Lino’s in 30 Days’!
Why 15 and not 30? That would be a little too much next to impossible. If I would cut teeny-tiny lino’s it could be possible but I want a nice size, 15 x 15 cm maximum. So 15 it is.
Cut one day, print the next.
Good preparation is key. I’m going to make drafts first, cut the linoleum to the right size. Make sure I have enough paper and so on. I decided on a theme too and it’s going to star just animals.
