Description
Japanese woodblock printing is an ancient art form with roots dating back to the eighth century. This practical guide explains the process from design drawing to finished print, and then introduces more advanced techniques for carving and editioning prints. With nearly 200 colour photographs, this book provides step-by-step instructions on how to develop your ideas into sketches and a finished design drawing, break an image into blocks, and use a tracing paper transfer method to create woodblocks. It also delves into the traditional systems of registration, cutting, and printing that define authentic Japanese woodblock prints. By following these techniques, you'll be able to create beautiful and intricate prints using this unique and rewarding art form.
