More woodblock printing today. Same blocks but after reading a few books and watching lots of YouTube videos I tried less water, better soaked paper and lots more ink. Gouach this time, not watered down and painted but straight from the tube and mixed on the plate with a little stubby brush (marubake). Getting there. Now I need to cut more wood...
These are beautiful Sarah. It's been a while since I checked in on your blog. Congratulations on the newest family member {he's probably off to preschool, I'm so behind!}
ReplyDeleteI recently took a woodblock/drypoint class from a gal, Ellen Heck. I think you would like her sensibility.
