#woodblockprinting — Public Fediverse posts

So here's the final print, slightly modified from the test print; the carving on some of the blocks has been tidied up, and there's now yellow added to the lantern and a dark gradation at the top making it look more finished.

And the first test print doesn't look too bad (though I really like the black keyblock on its own, TBH).

I've been teaching myself Japanese woodblock printing - "mokuhanga" - for a bit now, so it might be interesting to post something of my attempts.

My current print is the 'Fuchū' vignette taken from panel 6 of #Hiroshige's 'harimaz-e' series, Pictures of the Fifty-three Stations of the #Tokaido (with slightly modified border proportions to fit the block size).

Nice and simple 🤨

First step: make a digital copy, separating each colour onto its own layer.

I'm experimenting with woodblock printing.
This is the first image I tried carving and printing. I did a few where I just carved random lines and shapes.
After printing a few on toilet paper wrapper, I printed a few in this card.
I saw a video of someone embroidering over a painting and thought that might work with this print. Decided to embroider a scratching post.
A few coloured pencil details and I think it's quite cute.

Every day is Caturday!
