Jan 20, 2018 · Raking Light is a reduction linocut using traditional artists/battleship lino, printed in oil-based inks onto Fabriano Rosaspina paper using an Albion printing press. By reduction printing, I mean that the whole print is created from one piece of lino (which I’ll refer to as the block in this blog).

Raking light, the illumination of objects from a light source at an oblique angle or almost parallel to the surface, provides information on the surface topography and relief of the artefact thus lit. It is widely used in the examination of works of art.
Raking light refers to a lighting technique used in visual examinations that creates a shallow angle between the light source and the surface being observed.
Raking light examination can dramatically enhance the visibility of surface imperfections, making it easier to assess the condition of the artwork. This technique is particularly useful for identifying subtle changes in texture that indicate previous restoration efforts or areas of deterioration.
Raking light means a band of light running parallel to the surface, or at a very narrow angle to the surface. It is necessary that this band be condensed by lenses and be well defined in order to obtain a contrast between the illuminated areas and those remaining in shadow.
Raking light. Looking at a painting in 'raking light' simply means looking at it with the light shining from an acute angle rather than from the front, so shadows will be cast where the surface is not perfectly smooth.
