I am trying to print a lavender color on top of a green background...SNIP...

Marco:  if you're working with water base mediums you may want to try
acrylic paint.  Straight from the tube it has just enough viscosity, dries
opaque and is archival if you buy GOOD paint.  Golden, Windsor Newton and
Liquitex all have professional lines, but don't use the high viscosity
paints.  Let us know how it turns out and what the best method was.

Happy Printing,
Patti Phare-Camp

Talens makes good product but it is not in the same league as Graham. His is
made with honey and is so densely pigmented that you can paint it on a
block, let it dry, mist it a week later, and it still prints wonderfully.
Plus, it is a very small company in Oregon with 4 employees so people
actually touch the product:)

Hello Minna,

I have subscribed to Printmaking Today and to Contemporary Impressions.

Printmaking Today was very fast, and I have already received my first
issue. The discussion of shows and galleries is largely centered on Great
Britain, which is fair enough, the magazine being printed there. Some of
the discussion is interesting nonetheless, because they frequently include

reproductions of some of the prints being discussed. In fact, the large
number of color reproductions of prints makes the magazine quite inspiring,

judging from the one issue. I was persuaded to try it because it seems to
be one of the primary outlets for articles on new techniques, by people
like Nik Semenoff (sp??).

Contemporary Impressions was also quick to let me know they had my cheque,
and that I had made an error on the subscription form!!! It was very good
of them to get back to me so quickly. I have not yet received a copy, so I
cannot comment on the content.

Once again I want to thank everyone who made suggestions and gave me their

comments.

Cheers ........ Charles

Hi all,

I uploaded a blow by blow of the process for Call of the Desert. There is a
slide show and a frames show.
Go here: http://www.1000woodcuts.com/studio/method.html
then scroll down to Process A to Z (a color woodcut).
Enjoy,
Maria

PS Both the slide show and frames show were made rather quickly with a
program called Splats from http://www.isbister.com Nifty little thing.

Share & Don, Thanks for the photos, the prints look great and the frames
wonderful. John, thanks for letting me see some of your work up close last
time we visited. I will stop by the Unicorn cafe sometime this weekend, as
you know I am minutes away.

Great show!
