Ukiyoe Heroes - Fox Moon carving
Posted by Dave Bull on October 5, 2012 [Permalink]
I had a very full day of carving on the Fox Moon design yesterday, even though any number of things attempted to interrupt the work. Here are a few photos I shot in the evening as I was packing in for the day.
The evenings are the best time for this kind of work; no phone calls, and no distracting kingfisher:
If we move in closer, you can see the light/flask setup. If I use just a bare light, the shadow of the thin blade falls directly onto the wood, and gets confused with the thin lines of the design. The flask diffuses the light, making the blade shadow soft and blurred, and my view of the lines remains clear.
I've got most of the fabric on the Fox done ... a good start!
