Dominique Lecomte

Bio for Website: I love the little things of life, the spectacle of nature, the lines and forms of the world, the mystery of cities. I use them to create images, to map voyages, to share impressions. I want my work to be simple, colorful, warm; to make you smile, to tell you stories that will all appeal to your inner child and make you want to explore the world on and off the beaten path. Images, Voyages, Impressions, my business name, sums up this approach.

Materials and Techniques: I do linocuts and woodcuts by cutting around a drawing I made on a wood or linoleum block. Once this drawing is left in relief, everything else having been cut, I ink the relief and press a thick paper on it with a hand-pulled press or a wooden spoon. Then I pull the paper off, let the ink dry for 15 days and if I want to add color, I apply watercolors with a brush or I use colored pencils. That's the short version, in reality, it takes many tries to get everything the way I want!
