Prepping the block is half the magic ✨

Burnish the sketch from transfer paper, retrace every line to make it bold, wash it with a thinned layer of paint to clearly see your lines while carving. It’s a slow, satisfying start—and it makes all the difference.

These happy marigolds are already stealing my heart… can’t wait to see them all inked up 💛

What is the purpose of the paint layer? Just to make it clear when you carve that it has been done?
