Red Sky at Night, Sailors Delight, Woodblock by Don Gorvett Image: The reduction woodblock for 'Red Sky' is a wonderful example of cutting techniques and intermittent re-drawing required as the print progressed. As Don reminded people, his approach to the reduction woodcut processes involves draftsmanship, sculpting, and color theory with room for experimentation. Even though he has been working with the reduction process for years, he is still surprised by the intentional and unintentional color and textures that arise.
