Yesterday I chose my image for my next woodcut.
My panel is Russian Birch meauring 24" x 36". I am carving by hand but I may use the Dremel tool in spots. We'll see if that's what's called for.
Today I spent the day transferring the drawing to the woodblock.

| charcoal and compressed charcoal |
This first step begins the process that makes this image my own which is slightly different from reality as it passes through my brain and into my carving hand.

| FYI: EZcut lino makes for a good eraser. |
As an unexpected bonus I decided on an image to paint for one of my reclaimed canvases but not the big one.
I am going to put most of my energy into the woodcut since it is harder for me to find the space to carve than it is to paint on an easel. I want to use my time in residence in the best way I can for me.
