A Blue Day

Today was all about blue ink. I added a bokashi (blend) at the top of the print for sky and then a broader bokashi at the bottom for water. The bottom bokashi was actually done in two passes so it would be stronger. I wanted the wave (see the wave block here) to seem to be rising up out of the dark blue at the bottom.  

Let the blue sky meet the blue sea and all is blue for a time. -MONCY BARBOUR

I love this!
I´m completely bowled over. I used to do woodcuts, and mostly linocuts at college, and I´m always meaning to go back to them.
I never find the time, but I think I´ll find this blog a massive source of inspiration.
Thank you!

The melding of these three passes is stunning. I loved looking at the raw wave block, but seeing the composition all together is a treat.

Hi Annie,

I am really having to scratch for suggestions these days. It looks great, but here goes...

Loosing the bottom of the swirl entirely seems a pity. How about a bokashi of light grey fading to nothing on this section to make it sit out slightly?
