SH 218 on the Coble Landing-FileyReduction Linocut (10 colours). 181mm x 270mm.
Edition of 6.
Finally finished the Coble linocut. I'd printed colours 6 and 7 before I realised that I'd forgotten to photograph the stages. So I pressed on and printed the final colours. Like Hornsea, Filey doesn't have a harbour. So the boats are dragged up the beach by tractor and parked on the landing, well above the high tide line. The boats have a rugged simplicity of design, reputedly derived from the Viking longships. Originally they were fitted with a mast and sail, now however, most are powered by engines.

Another nice striking image Stuart. I've just noticed how effective the printing technique is for picking out the cobbled landing and waves.
Yes, another lovely print. I agree with Keith, the cobbled landing turned out extremely well.
Thanks to you both for the comments. Sorry for taking so long to respond but I've been away for a few days. I'm pleased with how the cobbles turned out, with hindsight I should have made more of them. But my main focus was on trying to capture the weathered paintwork of the boat.
