This is the finished color woodblock print, there are six different hues not including the black of the key block and the white of the paper. It is a relatively small print, (9.25" x 13.5") therefore the process of rolling multiple color inks onto the block was a labor intensive one. I soaked my paper, similar to etching, so that less ink is needed to adhere color to the page. This simple added procedure allows me to be more economical with my inks. The edition is also relatively small, since I am spooning all of my prints nowadays I will most likely be making editions around six to ten prints, "The Ride" contains six color prints.
