Mermaid Print

I just started working on a new reduction block print. The topic is a little different from my usual subjects, which are often landscapes and birds. I like drawing mermaids, but I haven't tried a multi-colored print before. Here are the beginning steps of the process.


 First move the cat out of the way


 Tracing paper pattern is placed on the block and rubbed with a spoon


 The light image on the block needs to be outlined with a Sharpie marker



The block is ready for carving and printing.
