Chunky Lily woodcut (2010)

In my printmaking class over the winter, I tried my hand at a woodcut, basing it on a brush and ink drawing I made last summer. These are hand-made prints of it on rice paper.

I took a brief printmaking class this winter and had fun learning linoleum and woodcutting. These are press-made prints on BFK Reves paper from a linoleum cut based on a drawing of mine by the same name.
