{"product_id":"the-woodcut-artists-handbook-techniques-and-tools-for-relief-printmaking","title":"The Woodcut Artist's Handbook: Techniques and Tools for Relief Printmaking","description":"The history of woodcuts dates back over a thousand years. Traditionally, a skilled woodcut artist carefully carves a mirror image of a design onto wood or another suitable material. The design is then inked and pressed onto paper, allowing for the creation of multiple identical impressions. This technique's precision and reproducibility enabled many talented artists to produce fine woodcut prints at a reasonable cost, making the art accessible to the average collector.\nIn this newly updated third edition of his popular handbook, Walker expands on the ancient printmaking technique known as mokuhanga (Japanese woodcut). Through a clear, step-by-step introduction to this water-based process, he demonstrates drawing, transferring, carving, and printing on washi paper. Easy-to-follow instructions, illustrated with photographs at each stage, guide beginners in creating a two-color print using this versatile technique.\nThis revised edition includes additional reproductions by master printmakers such as Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), and Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950).\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1554076358\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1554076358.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Moser, Barry|Walker, George A.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
