Reductive woodcut shop sample, second colour

Today’s printing: the second colour on our woodblock print of a Tim Hortons cup lying in a pile of dirty roadside snow. We’re holding back one print from each run so that the edition can be used to help explain the reductive process.

This block is being printed in two versions. One began with a run of gray ink on white paper, and the other with white ink on blue paper. The second run was printed in the same colour on both versions, a transparent teal. The image is already starting to come together.

There will probably be another run of white in the snow followed by a pale gray, then on to the brown and red tones of the cup.
