| Artist's Note Before there were art galleries and painters in the earliest days of printing, artists employed the method of wood block printing. In this technique the artist removes every bit of the surface of a flat block of wood that he or she does not want to show up black. After applying ink to the wood block it is pressed onto the paper. Voilà! In traditional wood block printing the artist would carve a separate block for each color he or she wishes to appear, removing the areas not meant to be that color. This technique is very time intensive as the ink for each color must be fully dry before the next color may be applied, black being the final application. For the woodblock prints used In Into the Fields there was an aggressive deadline and, due to this time constraint, I fudged a little and painted in the colors with a diluted oil color mixture. |
