Nadia Baker Sketchblog: Beach Impressions
http://nadiabakersketchblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/beach-impressions.html
Tuesday, 5 March 2013. Riding around the seawall on the weekend, I took in the glorious sunshine, tremendous winds, crashing surf, rocky shoreline, and sandy beach. Sitting on a drift log, I did these quick sketches with charcoal. I'm learning the loose and free feel that charcoal encourages. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Nadia Baker Sketchblog: February 2013
http://nadiabakersketchblog.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, 9 February 2013. Over four Mondays in January I had the great honour of learning the art of woodcut reduction printmaking from Richard Tetrault. We were encouraged to experiment and play. It was great fun. I worked on the underwater scene below. One block (pine plank) was used to create this 4 colour print. Scroll down to see the final print. 1st stage of cutting away pine plank - first colour. Cut away areas will be white from the paper. 2nd stage of cutting away for second colour.
