Sweet Chestnut print progress

 I sketch from a photo or drawing with a"Sharpie" marker.  Then onto the lino with a fine pigment pen.
I tend to use pigment pens for sketching,not pencils.

 first cut

 first rubbing with next steps added in fine pen

 looking at an angle often shows up where I need to cut further...or mistakes!

 last rubbing.....then the first print,using water based ink
