Marvin & Wendy Hill Fine Art Block Prints Original Block Print Illustrations

|
Block printing is the oldest form of printmaking, first developed by the Chinese for printing text and illustrations. After completing a drawing on a board of wood or linoleum, Marvin used very sharp tools to carve away what will remain white space, leaving the line of the drawing. He applied a thin layer of oil-based ink to the block's surface with a rubber roller (brayer), and then printed the image onto paper using a hand-pulled sign press. When the ink is dry, Wendy paints each print with watercolor. If designed to be a dimensional piece, each individual component has been drawn, carved out, printed, painted, and then each image cut out and then assembled using museum-quality materials.
