The red block for the "OVERLOOK" woodcut is now carved, making 3 color blocks. We just proofed the 3 together with the key and now begin the process of going back to each of the blocks to refine, carve more, and fine tune how the colors will layer in the finished print. Throughout this process, we'll also be making one more block, which will add shadows, more greens, and a deeper dimension to space within the tiered landscape. Shouldn't be too long and we'll have a solid 1st proof to share!
Just updated the "LOG" page on our site with all of the finished color block carvings! Stay tuned for a color proof in the coming days, hoping to have a copy to show by Friday's newsletter. Join up at tugboatprintshop.com to be the first to see the color print!
We'll use these two carved blocks to create the finished "RUBY RED ROSE" image. The purple-ish block you see above will print in ruby red, the key as a dark.
All-in-all, we're quite pleased with how the 'ROSE' is coming along, a cheery image to work on during these dreary & bitter cold mid-atlantic winter days. We confess we're burrowing a bit in our lair-like basement, making new headquarters for drawing, carving & prints galore.
Lots more soon!
