Sunday, I had a great day in the country learning how to make woodblock prints with
Debby Neely, a Local 14 artist. She prints incredible wildlife art with her carved woodblocks.
The country drive, fields, flowers and sun uplifted my spirits
along with spending the day with friends making art
First, we drew our design and traced it onto our wood block
Once transferred, we carved the woodblock
Then printed it-

That turned out really nice Paula. I like the big, bold quality of it.
ReplyDeleteThe bold black and white of woodblocks are striking, I love them. Paula your eye for photograph is wonderful beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Paula, love the design, how big is it?
ReplyDeleteHi Herm, The print is 6x8 inches on a 8½x11 inch sheet of paper. I'm hoping to make some color prints with the block I carved. Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteI love your woodblock! It has such nice lines and composition. It will look great in color, too, though I love the black and white.
ReplyDeleteGwen, I plan to use this woodblock to experiment with color. I agree that color would add a whole new dimension to the prints.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Paula! I can't wait to see it showing up in your art work.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, what a delicious day of carving with friends in a beautiful setting.
