Woodcut Printmaking

Posted on July 3, 2012 by piecedgoods

I’ve always loved the look of woodblock prints. Today I learned how to do them at Idyllwild Art Camp. Here’s the evolution from an engraving from a book as inspiration, to carving, to my first print. It’s not perfect, but it’s a start. The original image Carving the block Inked Block Pulled print And it was a blast.
