I’m nearly there with this linocut- it’s been interesting working direct to the lino rather than making a drawing first. #womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner #printexhibition

Thought I would set myself a @printfestulverston challenge to work directly drawing onto the lino with pen and inks. We live on an estuary and sometimes it’s hard to spot land from water..: #penandinkillustration #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner

There we are - summer beach. This is one of my favourite local beaches - Rockcliffe- and a wonderful place for walking. #lauraboswell. #womeninprint #lauraboswellprintmaker #printmaking #linocut #linoprint #reliefprint#printmakerscorner

Here’s an older mokuhanga print of mine - the texture is achieved by coating the paper with size several times to make it hard for the pigments to penetrate. This is a big print 78x34cm #makingajapanesewoodblockprint #mokuhanga #japanesewoodblock #waterbasedwoodblock #woodblockprinting #mokuhanga

Today is Tuesday. Here is some #watercolor art, sunset in the High Sierra Nevada mountains (commission for a dear geologist, mentor and friend.) #geology #sciart
SUNSET AT KING’S CANYON by Danielle Rose Baker. A watercolor painting of a mountain vista in the high Sierra Mountains of California, with an unnamed glacier-covered peak overlooking a chilly mountain lake. The foreground is rocky, with scattered scrub bushes and plants. The sky is seen in pastel sunset tones of pinks, purples and golds.

A selection of the materials I’ve used to mark this block up so far - always test before using anything to mark up as inks and methods all affect the stability of the marks you make and the danger of transfer to the print itself. Here I have Indian ink, acrylic inks, chinagraph and carbon paper.

More layers and I’m starting work on the foreground rock too - by keeping it clean while I worked on the background, it’s now printing differently from the other land mass, pulling it forward

Another layer in and I’m ignoring the foreground for now - it means more layers, but I prefer to see how the rest of the print develops before I commit to deciding the tonal contrasts

Just printing the third layer of my reduction lino print - it’s always odd to see patches of colour, but that will resolve with the darker layers!
