woodblock print

Isaac Kremer/ November 4, 2023/ / 0 comments

A technique of Japanese printmaking in which the surface is carved away from a hardwood block, leaving the outlines of an image standing in relief. Water-based ink or watercolor is brushed over the block, a sheet of paper is placed on top, then rubbed with a smooth, padded tool to make an impression. For prints with several colors, the artist makes a block for each color. Photo of work by Madeleine Barkey, 2011. (Terry, 2022)
