Piscataquog River Print

 I've been busy getting ready for the Uncommon Art on the Common Art Sale, which is taking place in Goffstown Village tomorrow. It has been a couple of years since I last participated, due to weather and Covid, but it's always a lot of fun! I'm selling block prints, and my friend Lori has gorgeous felted animals, as well as prints.

I just finished, in the nick of time, a new print of the Piscataquog River. The river runs right through the center of Goffstown Village, and is a great place to observe wildlife. I've recently seen a bald eagle, and an osprey flying overhead. 

Here's the steps in creating the new print that I just finished.

The "soft-cut" block is ready to carve. I use a black sharpie to outline the transferred drawing.

Warm yellow tone for the first color

Light blue for second layer

more carving, then a couple gray layers for the sky

First green layer

Second green layer

Final green for the finished print!

Have a great weekend!
