Candlelight Dinner (Test Prints)

The Candlelight Dinner print is inspired by my love of dinner parties and what we call in Spain “sobremesa”. Which consists of spending time together at the dinner table after finishing your meal, catching up, laughing and telling stories. La sobremesa will usually last a long time, sometimes even hours and it’s, in my opinion, a great way to savour your meal and the good company, while finishing your drinks and chatting. I wanted to convey the welcoming feeling of “sobremesa” through this print while also taking inspiration from warm candlelight tones🕯️

Even though these are test prints, I’m very pleased with how these have turned out. They are printed on 3 different coloured paper, white, burgundy and dusty blue, using linocut and linseed oil based inks in an ochre yellow tone. Prints measure 18cmx13.2cm approximately. Variations in colour and texture may occur due to the hand printed nature.
