WOODBLOCK PRINTMAKING

...and another website featuring a good section on woodblock printmaking. Information on the history of the art both in China and Europe and then information on the techniques including types of wood, steps involved and design. There are links to other types of printmaking such as intaglio and screen printing in the index.

On a different note, I am working on one more pastel before I get back to the Linocut I started. This one on yellow Canson paper so, hopefully, a little brighter than my last attempt.

LIAM AND GRANDPA

Combining the good

things in my life.

This is a print I did

showing a new

part of my world

It was done using the

Intaglio technique. The

drawing is etched

directly onto a

copper plate. The

plate is then inked

and run through my

press with paper.
