"Now that I have this first print from my my block of wood, it gives me an idea. From here, I can make changes if I want to. Now I'm going to start talking about making individual colorings on the block of wood. This is not something you can do very easily, and addition, but since we're concentrating on making marks from the block of wood and not additioning, I'm going to play around with it a little bit. So, I already have a little layer of ink that's mostly been printed, but it it's still there to a certain degree. I'm going to add some color to my brayer, a different color, and use that to sort of make a varied surface on the block of wood. This sanguine color has a red tint to it. It's going to mix on the brayer a little bit with the ink that I just used, and I'm going to start from the bottom of my block of wood, and bring in that red color."
