RELIEF BLOCK, Linocut Block Print, Printmaking, relief print carving process | ART STUDIO Vlog 10

Linocut block print carving process - carving a relief printmaking block from start to finish. I carved my Joe's Valley block, and now all my blocks in this batch are ready to test print! Also, I'm going to start live streaming, so check out the twitch link to see my arting in real time. I'll probably stream some non-printmaking content too like sketching or digital drawing.
