I bought a trial pack of Japanese papers to try with the woodcut I'm working on. Here I'm using a lightbox to see under the Japanese paper to print I did a couple of days ago that is now dry. I've stuck down cut-out pieces of colour tissue paper which I'm then going to print over the top of.
This is how the Japanese paper sample (Kozu shi) looks with the coloured tissue paper without the lightbox behind.
Once I've inked up the woodcut block and laid the paper faced down over the top, I'm now using a barren to apply pressure and create the print. This is a Kean relief baren, made using lots of tiny ball bearings, which I'm trying out.
