Fox and Hound- Reduction Woodcut$120.00
I just finished my LARGEST multi-color reduction woodcut to date: using the reduction technique–where each color is printed from the same wood block–effectively destroying the block with each layer. These are particularly unique because it’s impossible to ever print more.
It all starts with a sketch
Then carve the parts of the design that will reveal the white of the paper–Ink the rest with the lightest color
Carve the parts of the design that will reveal the light color, and ink again with the second lightest color–light, light green
keep carving and inking to build up all the colors of your design
layers 5 (left) and 6 (right)
green is one of those tricky colors for me to mix. It took 3 tries before I got color harmony that I liked
The different greens build a nice depth and texture to the woodcut.
The finished woodcut!!!

I love your reduction wood prints Ken! They are really great. Do you still have any prints available of the Fox and the Hound?

Hi Pat!
Thanks so much! I’m excited about how it turned out. I still have some of the edition. You could order one here: https://www.kenswinson.com/product/fox-and-hound-reduction-woodcut/
or stop by the studio next time you are in town to pick one up!
thanks so much
KenKen – I would prefer to see the print first so I will stop by the next time I am in Maysville. However, I don’t know when I will be there. If that’s a problem let me know. I am pretty busy until December 8th.
PatI understand. If you like the print online, it looks even better in person! Look forward to seeing you soon!
thanks
Ken
