I started this little woodcut on Shina wood earlier this week after looking at, and getting inpired by Jessie Willcox Smith's illustrations.
Simple set up to make a relief print at home...
Using a speedball brayer and water based speedball ink on the carved block.
Pulling a proof print after rubbing the back of the paper with a speedball baren.
The block and the print.
Making some adjustments.
The first proof print, tinted with colored pencils. Staring at the Sky, 3x3.7 Woodcut & Prismacolor on Zozo paper
Available for sale here.
