Executing a powerful drawing is where it begins. Many of the drawings are used as the design for a woodcut and transcribed onto a woodblock in the studio. Some woodcut designs are drawn and developed directly on the block. Don draws outside in front of his subject in three-hour sessions.
The cataloging of Don Gorvett's drawings is ongoing. Please check back for updates.

Drypoint, an etching without acid, is a printmaking technique in which an image is drawn into a copper plate with a stylus. Once the drawing is finished, it is printed in the intaglio tradition. Another technique Don has used is direct photogravure.

About the woodblocks.
Don's sense of visual beauty extends to the texture and surface of the block as it does to the print. The blocks are cut skillfully and with great care; the finished woodblock and its appearance are very important to the artist. In cutting and inking the woodblock, drawing, sculpting, and painting come together. Selected woodblocks are for sale with the purchase of the corresponding print. Please contact us for availability and pricing.
