I'...Really nice collection of prints/versions...<br />I'm at a loss as to what to do about editioning these things, but I'm following the conversations.<br />I bet this is stunning in person...<br />and on BFK...excellent!<br />I should get my ball bearing baren out to see if that would make this whiteline stuff any easier for me!<br />Keep at it...I think you've graduated from experimenting.lkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432323148535227007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30078579.post-51335340398273297802010-05-24T18:10:30.126-07:002010-05-24T18:10:30.126-07:00This is an excellent example of how changing colou...This is an excellent example of how changing colours and techniques can so significantly change the feel and outcome of a print.

I knew better i just wasn't thinking the first print was on an unsized paper kozo i think. Then i decided to do a ghost print on Rives lightweight which worked great for the horse but not so great for a print this size.... just to thin and it buckled with all the moisture. Rives BFK was just right it held up well with all the moisture and i was still able to print by hand with a ball baring baren. I am happy with the final print and look forward to more experiments with large white line woodcuts.Vizarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12253834697346790723noreply@blogger.com
