Hot off the press! I’m excited to share with you my latest reduction woodcut: Fox + Hens

This is a reduction woodcut. An interesting technique where all 6 colors come from the same block. The block is carved in stages, and the paper goes through the press a separate time for each color. Scroll down to see all the steps

LAYER 1–Whites of the paper and light grey
LAYER 1 light grey (above)-LAYER 2 Light blue (below) the block is visible on the right
LAYER 3- dark blue (below) LAYER 4-Orange (above) block visible on the right
LAYER 5-red (left) the block is visible on the right
THE FINAL LAYER 6-black!!!

This is a limited edition (only 21) woodcut print. Printed on acid free, 100% cotton paper with archival oil based inks. You can order one online or in person at any of my events for $60 (while available)
