Seeing the sweet result with so many details, I wonder how you processed the picture to get those details. My only guess is, that you are just talented in your arts or you told a software to reduce it to so and so many colors!? I'm curious!
I use different techniques for every print I make. Some are designed from sketches, paintings, personal photographs, or a combination of these. This print was based on my photograph at Jacob Reese Beach in NYC. I planned out the layers based on color values in photoshop. I simplify the information by reducing the image size and I loose a lot of the fine details when I hand carve the individual color layers. Registration is the key to keep all the color layers lined up together. My color choices are made on the spot while printing and the print organically comes together. I've been doing this for many years and it gets easier with every print. I love the long process of printmaking. From the moment I decide to take a photo or make a sketch, all the way until I package the print and send it to a collector. It's a long journey and I hope my love and attention to detail shows in my work. Thanks for your comment!
@@stephenwiniecki So it's reducing the image size in that case. Thank you! As a beginner printmaker myself I'm curious about different techniques! Thanks again
I mostly use American cherry which I get from a local source, or I use shina Plywood from Japan. I sometimes use Japanese Cherry for detailed carving but it has become very expensive to buy and ship to the states.
Masterful in conception, production and communication. Following keenly! 🐈⬛

Thanks for your comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.
If the lids are troubling you. Next time you open it, put some vasaline around the inside tin lid. We do that in the print class.
Thanks for the tip! Are you a printmaking student or teacher?

Great description of the process. I like the motive very much. With warm greetings from Germany!

Where do you get your wood blocks from?
