Woodblock Wednesday - water water everywhere

Missing the class last week set me back rather. This week I tried to take stock, find which prints to carry on with, where it was all going, etc. But what's needed is to approach each one individually, which would take forever, as I seem to have printed a lot of "water" in various ways. I'm torn between "getting somewhere" with these prints, and moving on to something new!




Trying to make a decent grey with ultramarine and burnt sienna ... should it be prussian blue and burnt umber? -

Halfway through the class I was clearer about my short-term goals,  and used the rest of the time to overprint a few that didn't work out well first time round -
These are "done enough", leave them alone -
Experiments on the other 26 are permitted, but is there enough time in this life?

It was the last class of term, so we each took out one print to briefly discuss -
The bodies of work this term from "the old lags" who've been going to the class for a few terms
Veronica made variations of the shading of the pumpkins, using bokashi not just
at the top of the prints but just about anywhere else

Liz printed stage by stage, cutting from the latest print pasted onto the new block

Val did a reduction print of the Mathematic Bridge in Cambridge, using different types of paper
