Third Reduction Done
I've had a busy week, with a sick partner (flu) and a lot of illustration work to do, but I finished carving the third reduction on this Mecca block this afternoon. I'm hoping to print it this weekend.
I think this print is so interesting...and I follow how you work on it...and your thoughts about it......rather than think of all the political problems we have in Denmark at the moment....But I wonder what the white on your reduction is....it lokks like some kind og paper or plastic...???
Hi Anita. The white is the color of the wood. All the white places are places where I removed the wood (which had been stained green by the previous printing). It's a bad photo, too much light, so it looks white.
thank you...I couldn´t figure out what it was because of the very white...but I know that very light areas in a photo can give too much white areas in the photo.....looking forward to see when its printed...
