The beginning stages - I am carving out what will remain white on thie print.
Carving continues; developing the image.
It is always satisfying as the registration of color and form come together when completing a reduction print!
Spring's arrival prompted me to take a look at several drawings I had worked on during the Winter. I had completed a drawing of a Barred Owl; and decided it would work well as a reduction print. Here is a look at how I proceeded with Barred Nocturne.
The image is taking shape after two printing runs using variations of gray; ghost-like at this point.
Color intensifies as I move from gray to blue, so exciting!
