I’ve finished up testing/trialing a Mahogany wood block .. with various Water based acrylics and inks, these on a variety of papers.
Conclusions .. mahogany .. the species I used .. is not suitable for woodblocks / fine carving details.
I’ve selected an Ink / Paper combination to move forward with .. see pictures below.
Also I’ll carve a new block using “different” wood, time will tell if it’s “better”
A pair of sub-standard prints … Colour is not important at this stage !!!.. this is a paper designed for Acrylics/ Oil paints .. not so good for transfer printing …
Various papers I use on a regular basis plus the Printmaking paper (new to me)
