I've been having a great time taking a printmaking class this fall. Last weekend I had the opportunity to work in the studio Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon, while an "Open Studio" event was going on at the college. During this marathon session, I worked on a new four-color reduction print. The print is made using only one block that is carved away with each subsequent color. The darkest final layer pulls the image together.

This looks great! I loved printmaking in University. Silkscreen is my favorite form of printmaking, for my portfolio class I did a 7 color print! That was brutal! :-P
ReplyDeleteGreat technique, and such a tranquil image! :o)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Jane. Maybe you can create a picture book dummy using block prints. You've really got a knack for these! I love the subtle color in this one.
