Murilo asked what a two color block print is.  

Two color blocks could mean two blocks or it could mean two colors on a 
block, the colors being separated by wide areas so that inking each 
would not disturb the other.  That's my take on it.

Congratulations to both Sarah and April.  You guys are really cooking! 
 Wow!!!!  

Thanks for color tips, everyone.    I have my own that I use, but mostly 
I like compliments to make greyed tones.   It's nice to hear what others 
are doing.  So I'm to understand not every red and every green will make 
black.  I'd like to try John Center's transparent viridian over umber. 
 That's one I hadn't imagined.

Congrats April, I'm going to have to pick up a copy of that magazine!!
Louise asked "who and what is 'Lewis and Clark'"?  It's the title for my 
solarplate etching which was selected for the Washington Printmakers 
exhibition and it's up on their website as well.  If you're asking how that 
title came to be, I have to credit Jeffrey for suggesting it when I showed 
him the print, which is a back view of two pomeranian dogs who do look like 
they're setting off on an expedition.  
here's the link..

Congragulations to April.  How wonderful to have such gifted people to 
converse with.  As for blacks, the watercolorist who is a purist does not 
have a black in their pallette, we always mix black.  This is because there 
are many shades of blacks and warms and cools to consider when working with 
color.  If you want water based dense black certainly sumi is a wonderful 
choice.  Having studied calligrahy for several years as well as painting, 
which should if you have decent teachers come with a lot of color knowledge 
I have the sumi that you make yourself with the block and it is very 
wonderful black. Guess I will have to experiment now with hanga and my new 
pigments, there is a lot to know about color.

We cut a block for each color, but it is really one block anyway, since we
cut two SIDES of the block.

You can put two colors on the same side, but only if the colors are far
apart. Or, of course, you can overprint two colors on the same area. I often
print one color then the same block with a bokashi area of a second color.

Subject: [Baren 18983] Oregon show 

Well, baren people, the show here in Oregon at the NW Print Council gallery
is almost over. The response has been good with lots of people interested. A
couple of artists were contacted for info on prints but as far as I know, no
sales have  been made. Not surprising since so little is for sale out of the
show.

We did sell a couple of woodblock prints, but they were NWPC members and not
baren members. Still an appreciation of woodblock is good, no matter who
sells work! I cannot believe everyone is not on the internet, but some
artists are not.

Several people had a hard time believing the prints were all mine, so maybe
I am just not appreciating them enough. It is true that we seem to take our
own and each others work for granted. Seeing it all on the wall is pretty
cool. I left a camera there but still am not sure if we have any photos. I
was too busy talking and forgot about taking pictures. I will attempt to get
some this week before it is too late!

So if you ever have an opportunity to show baren work and want baren
brochures, let me know as we have a bunch now!
Best to all,
Barbara
