it looks like an obsession but it's not. it's just i'm working on this woodcut, and someone asked me to upload a pic of the woodcut itself. Here's a scan i did before i added a couple a details while checking the image, you know, horizontal flip (mirror) then change black into white, etc.

The upper part is missing as it's doesn't enter the scanner, it's 24 x 30 x 0.3 cm (9.6 x 12 x 6/5 inches). I can't scan it rght now since it's all golden and full of xilographic ink, then i'm posting this one.

i already stamped it in colours. the first print is a solid dark purple colour rectangle, then when dry i printed the woodcut in golden ink on top.



it's the first try that's why the golden print doesn't look ok. once i make other copies the layer will look solid.



(the image: i used a sketch i did of a painting by Fader)

this is a scan of a woodcut i just did after the sketch at the fine arts museum i posted some weeks ago, a sketch of a painting by Fader.

I still haven't printed it, this is a scan of the wood, and on which i changed the colors black to white and wood to black to see how it'll look after it's printed. this time it will be done in two colours, a black background, then this woodcut in opaque white on top, then the black drawing will be seen. i'll post a pic after i have printed some copies.

what i already did was to stamp it on a wet heavy paper then the image shows good in relief, but it's all white so i havent tried a photo, yet... gonna check the light and see if i can take one.

this is the first woodcut for school, which after several prints have made us carve some textures on the same one. now that i've printed some copies, today i've started to carve more open plains.

to be continued...

woodcut 2

i did this little woodcut (my second one!) for fun. Maybe I ll use it a school, but i dn't know if it'll fit the requirements for the subject. i made it after an image of late laura branigan, as a tribute to all the love she gave, and the pleasure she's given many of us with her voice & music.

this is how it should look like when I make the prints

it's been such a long time (over a month) since my last post! even just now i realize last march 18th. it was one year since i started blogging! MY BIG THANKS TO YOU ALL WHO VISITED AND YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT DURING THIS PAST YEAR!!!!

well, this is my first woodcut ever, for school. it's a scan of the wood itself as i still havent printed it. i've been (am) too busy with school and work. unfortunately this week i had to miss several classes as i wasn't feeling alright then had to stay home. anyway, next tuesday i'll make some prints out of it as it is (unfinished) then after that i have to cut all the white parts in the hen and sun. the first printings have to be made only contour. i'll post it again once it's finished.
