My First Woodcut My Version of a Durer Engraving as a Woodcut
This was my first woodcut print. To be perfectly accurate, I started this woodcut but then did another smaller woodcut before completing the Durer piece. So, maybe it s my second woodcut. I had done a few linocuts before this so that helped a lot with the woodcut process. For my woodcut plate, I used Shina plywood, which is soft and cuts much like a linocut. I have done scratchboard illustration for over 40 years, and my scratchboard style looks a lot like an old woodcut. I use thick and thin parallel lines
