Moko Hanga - Watercolour woodcut printing

Hi, I'm Robert Achtemichuk. I'm going to show you how to print a watercolour woodblock. print, using the materials on this table. So it being a woodblock we have woodblocks that have been carved previously both sides and this will be result. We will be using gouache, regular Windsor-Newton gouache and applying that gouache off the woodblock, yes they will be wet kind of humid, with various brushes and in some cases some rice paste glue. And using a baren to print rub, lay paper, rub backside, to pull the image. So we are going to print the last two colours for this project. Adding some brown, applying it to the woodblock ochre I have mentioned previously that if I add a little bit of colour, this green to make it a little bit more spring-like. I'll be giving a workshop at the Button Factory in January. Costs are $125 for members $140 for non-members and there's a $20 supply fee. Using a few woodblocks you will carve an image and print it using water-based colours and a baren. First class will be dedicated to preparing the box and image transfer and sharpening chisels. The second will focus on the printing, the paper and colour preparation. Et voila! All the colours of this particular project.
