coffee and jug print

I've been working on some Japanese woodblock prints recently, and thought I'd show a few process photos. Here's my initial sketch...IMG_1876I then carved and sanded the wood plate and did the printing in three colours.IMG_1929I wasn't happy with the line showing the rim of the jug, so I carved it out, and printed extra layers of a more brushy look on top of the original flat dark areas, to add some depth and texture.IMG_2039And voila, the finished print.
