FIRST WOODBLOCK

I am leaving today for the class Japanese Woodblock Printmaking Techniques and the Western
Landscape at the Anderson Ranch. Here are my first attempts at making a woodblock print.
They are small, about 4" x 6", of the Lone Cone on three different types of paper. The top is Somerset, the middle Mulberry paper and the bottom Rives BFK tinted with watercolor. I started
with transparent watercolor, Winsor and Newton, but finished with the new paints I received in my supplies which are actually gouache, an opaque water medium. The blocks are Shina plywood.
Will update this blog after the class.
