I like to mask out the edges of my woodblock to keep it clean. It’s easier to do so than to cut out all the unwanted bits. I don’t apply pressure when rolling the ink just use the roller’s own weight to prevent ink being pushed into the fine details. I know the block is inked enough when it kind of starts to sparkle. Sometimes halfway through the burnishing I like to have a little peek on the print to see wether I’m missing a place or if I need to burnish some more. I place one hand over the paper and gently peel off one end. If more work is needed I place it back on top of the block carefully and continue. If it looks ok I switch hands and check the other end. If I’m lucky I can peel it off at that point. If not, burnish a little more and then peel it off anyway hoping that was enough.<br />[]<br />[]<br />[]<br />[]<br />[]<br />#woodengraving #woodblockprint #woodcut #reliefprint #reliefprinting #engraving #grabado #gravure #blockprint #inkonblock #inkonpaper #printmakersprocess #printmaker #contemporaryprintmaking #rossihadzhieva #peopleofprint #printisntdead #get_imprinted #printpower #tulips #botanicalillustration #inkonpaper #xilografia #justprintmaking
