Soft block relief printing is a great way to get started with printmaking.
In the print above, I used black and white ink and 3 foam plates. I played with design elements like value, repetition and balance.
This printmaking process is good for folks who want to explore printmaking but do not have access to a press. It can be done very easily in your home studio.
One thing I have done with all the printing plates in the picture above is kept them all the same size so I can layer and combine them to make interesting larger prints.
If you would like to explore drawing, pressing and printing with soft block relief plates, then check out the details of the new online printmaking class that is starting July 11th. Read the information on the printmaking workshops page.
Join today and get notice of future classes.
