Gridley Head woodcut with red, yellow and blue

"Gridley Head" woodcut with red, yellow and blue acrylic

This woodcut represents a leap ahead in my printmaking. I tried an experiment that worked and am very happy with the outcome.

I painted red, yellow and blue acrylic paint on a piece of 140 lb. Strathmore water color paper. Then, after the paint was dry, I printed a woodcut of Gridley, my English Bulldog, in black, oil-based ink over it.
