直島海岸　ー　終わった！

Uncategorized

First, a tease –

Check out that nice embossing! But I’m getting way ahead of myself 😉

The 直島海岸 (Naoshima coast) print was finished awhile back. Here are some in-process images.

  • after first green impression
  • after turquoise and brown
  • after paynes on lower rocks
  • green on just the trees
  • after that
  • everything drying!
  • final print, including shadows on cliff face and on rocks by the shore

This paper was pretty difficult to work with because it is thick and rather rough. I have a lot of it; I will have to figure out how to make it work. On the plus side, it is really tough and stands up well to multiple impressions with vigorous baren work. And it is 100% kozo, and came to me sized. I should not be complaining! Next time I will try starting with a lot more water on the paper.
