ABOUT THIS NEW PRINT

A grassy wilderness rings the golden mound where this "GARDEN" grows. A tabby cat peers at a rabbit munching on a sprouting bush; a snake slithers through grass blades. The "GARDEN" presents an age-old scene, a testament to our ability to provide for ourselves, nudging nature to our benefit. Tools and baskets, a pump and a bucket, and an assortment of small decorative flourishes (a golden wind bell, a hollow gourd birdhouse, dangling ornaments) lend a human touch to the artful arrangement of foliage in this 5 block color woodcut print.









MAKING "GARDEN"




(ABOVE) The "GARDEN" woodcut print began as the drawing on the block (ABOVE) and grew to become an 18" x 24" color, 5 block print! See how we made this 100% original woodcut print in the images that follow!



The key woodblock (ABOVE) printed on 18" x 24" newsprint to give an idea of the print's final size. (BELOW) We drew a 2nd key block for the wild area surrounding the 'GARDEN'. The carved block for the 2nd key is below.






THE 3 COLOR BLOCKS IN PROGRESS!

The three color blocks below were drawn and carved to create a rainbow of printed color beneath the two key blocks (KEYS SHOWN ABOVE). See videos of the "GARDEN" carving process on TUGBOAT PRINTSHOP'S YOUTUBE CHANNEL!





(ABOVE DETAIL) The three color blocks and the 2 key blocks print together to create the final "GARDEN" image.
