"Santa Barbara" print


Last summer, a group of my college friends met in California to celebrate 35 years of friendship. We started our trip in the beautiful city of Santa Barbara. I wanted to create a block print to commemorate our time there.


The sketch on tracing paper to be transferred onto the block.


Inking up the block with a blend of brown and blue.





Cutting around the tree tops was tricky.

 The final stage of the block and the finished design.


This print ended up with 6 layers. Hope this makes the process of reductive block printing a little easier to visualize.
