We thought that you would enjoy seeing Penn Cove Gallery's printmaker, Linnane Armstrong, demonstrate Moku Hanga printmaking.
Watercolor pigments and rice paste are mixed with special brushes on each block. Next, dampened Japanese paper is laid over the block and burnished with a baren which is a Japanese hand tool used in printmaking. Finally, seven blocks are printed to create the full image.
A beautiful range of Linnane's linocuts and woodcut prints are available at the gallery.
