JAPANESE-STYLE WOODCUT PRINTMAKING & THE WESTERN LANDSCAPE






These six photographs show some of the steps in carving the woodblock print at the top of the Lone Cone.
From bottom to top:    My drawing transferred onto the key block ready to carve.
                                    The inked key block ready to print the first black and white proof.
                                    The inked key block transferred onto blue and yellow blocks to carve.
                                    Carving the blue block.
                                    A wall of proofs.
                                    First proof of key block with two color blocks.
