As you can see, I made good progress yesterday and just have a small area of wave to engrave, along with a cozzie and a few tweaks here and there.

My wood engraving and general arty blog. Friday, May 11, 2012. Block's cut for the first colour. The cut away areas will remain white when I print. I've chosen a fairly neutral colour scheme and the first colour will be the lightest. My printing press is set up to print colour in registration (it may or may not work, we'll see! The first print run. I've printed a few more than I want to cover any registration mishaps when printing other colours. I'm using water soluble lino printing ink, which I don't li...

Studio Window: October 2011
http://studio-window.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
My wood engraving and general arty blog. Thursday, October 13, 2011. Here's the latest page in my sketchbook, along with a block bearing my chosen design in black ink. (in reverse of course, so that it prints the right way round). I shall begin to engrave today, hopefully it won't take long as it's only 7.5 cm x 12.4cm. The block is an old one made of (I think) box wood and resurfaced by Chris Daunt. The subject matter is one close to my heart (or perhaps I should say, my belly! Tuesday, October 04, 2011.

My wood engraving and general arty blog. Friday, May 27, 2011. Enter stage left.the audience. The audience is starting to appear. The lady centre foreground is going to be wrapped in a spotty blanket. She had acquired a glass of wine to keep her warm. Theatre dress is definitely skewed towards warm and weatherproof! Performances continue through wind and rain.(The audience also bring picnics, flasks, wine. I was offered a slice of home made sponge cake last time, by a lady sitting next to me! I do find t...

Studio Window: First proof
http://studio-window.blogspot.com/2011/11/first-proof.html
My wood engraving and general arty blog. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Here's the block inked up and locked onto the press bed. The first proof. I need to do a fair bit of tidying up, removing especially the spots in the sky area and tonal adjusting generally. The edges need to be more irregular so I'll fade off the squareness a bit down that left hand edge. The forgeround lady's cap needs lightening somehow. The shadow under the wave is too regular and needs adjusting. Society of Wood Engravers. Go for ...

Studio Window: August 2011
http://studio-window.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
My wood engraving and general arty blog. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. I have ideas circulating for a new engraving. I want to try and depict the speed and thrill of riding a wooden bellyboard in the surf. The sort of wave that you catch and which then carries you pell mell with walls of foam sizzling past your ears and dumps you onto dry sand! Here's a first scribble:. In the meantime, here are some more beach studies:. Is it telling that I'm drawing people facing away from me? Wednesday, August 17, 2011.
