3. For each colour pass, the artist removes
material from the block.
Each colour is printed on top of the
previous and therefore, the block gets
reduced.
To understand this better, it will be
demonstrated on a piece of foam using a
ball point pen.
stage 1
stage 2
stage 3
4. First, you need to
consider what you
want to be white on
your print.
In this example, it will
be the blue pen lines
as it will become the
negative space.
You should also
remember that your
image will come out
mirrored!
5. The styrofoam is
inked and printed.
With each new
layer, the block will
need to be washed.
7. The styrofoam is
inked and printed
again.
You also need to
register (align) your
print correctly on top
of the previous print.
Again, the block will need to be washed.
10. Here you can review the stages again,
with their individual prints.
