Wood Engraving
The Art of Wood Engraving & Relief Engraving
by Barry Moser
Full of anecdotes, asides and great advice, reading Barry Moser's book is like having an old friend at your elbow, guiding you through the process of wood engraving with humor and gentle encouragement.
There is a lifetime of knowledge in this book: how to prepare a printing block; how to think in the medium's properties of line, shape, and ink; how to transfer a drawing onto a block. There is advice, too, on tools: not only on gravers (burins, scorpers, stipplers, and spitzstickers) but also on lights (you'll need a good strong one) and engraving bags (the leather pillows that cradle the blocks as you carve). Here is how to ink, how to choose paper, and how to print. Here is how to fail, how to move on, and how to acquire the habit of work that leads to real achievement.
Wood Engraving is an art lesson and a life lesson. And because it's a book by Barry Moser, it is also a gallery of prints and beautiful to behold.
