Nestle (8)

Created on: 27 Dec 2024
This wood engraving was awarded the Bewick Prize from the Society of Wood Engravers for their 87th Annual Exhibition that will start it’s showings in February 2025, at the Bankside Gallery in London.
  • Inking the design directly on the lobed Chris Daunt made end-grain boxwood round.
  • The engraved lines can be seen, as well as the inked drawing on the toned block’s surface. Wood engraving is opposite of drawing the darks, it is illuminating the lights.
  • Further along, engraving the nest.
  • Feather in nest, almost there.
  • Detail.
  • The block’s un-engraved surface inked with a brayer, in my press, ready to print.
  • Signing the edition of “Nestle”.
  • Inspiration, a Thomas Bewick wood engraving featured in his “A History of British Birds”.
