WHITE LINE WOODBLOCKS


I found something new to try. It's called 'White Line Printing'and it looks very interesting. I like it because I can use watercolores (which I struggle with)instead of ink.

This medium was developed on Cape Cod early in this century making it the only truly American art form. It is a means by which a printmaker can create color prints using a single block of wood (unlike traditional Japanese prints, which require a separate block for each color).
I'll see how it goes!!!
