Printmaking Demo at Hyde Park NY, take home a mini woodblock

A new woodblock in the works, starting with two background layers: yellow ochre overprinted with a light creamy ochre which was wiped away to create texture and movement. #woodblockprint #hudsonvalleyartist #printmaking #catart

Autumn inspired woodblock work in progress. #woodblock #fallcolors #hudsonvalleyartist

'Farm Contours' woodblock edition finished...
I really enjoyed working on this relatively simple small multi-block print, after a couple years of reduction prints and some really large woodblocks that strained my small studio space.
