“Becalmed”
“Becalmed” was my second successful print. It’s a reduction print made using four blocks. I used a homemade frame as a register. It is printed on Blick Masterprinter Paper, an inexpensive sulphite paper. The smoothness of the paper surface enabled me to print by hand, without a press or other device.
