Image:
You can print the image to any size you like, though the larger it is the harder it may be to get good coverage with the techniques. I would recommend starting at the class size. I’ve printed the NO LINES version as this will give a softer finish. There is no difference in the technique for colouring either the no lines or black lines image.
The size I've used in the class video is 9cm high (3.5”). If you are new to resizing images, please view my handy video here!
