Woodcut

Print with 2 woodblocks

Woodcut

After I printed my two woodblocks (black and grey) I decided I'd play around with the black block and repeatedly printed it. I then mono printed a tobacco brown background. The first one I did was a yellow background as I was trying to mix yellow ocre but the yellow was too strong and there was too much transparency.

Woodcut

I decided to do a woodcut because I came into college thinking I wanted to do print, and resorted back to it. The fact I had been experimenting with line, I believe this was a good progression from drawings and and photographs, which I played around with on photo shop, emphasizing and dramatizing lines.

Half way through cutting

I took the image from a photo I took when researching the nature of crowds.
