Once the desired color is achieved complete your artwork with an artistic edge or paper. If the preset colors chosen for your work are not to your liking, there is the option to alter your palette colors.
Choose from a range of bold chisled outlines, and bright to subtle color combinations. Presets are also available to give your project a quick start. Using sliders found on the adjust tab you can control the smoothness, width and strength of the chiseled outline to fit your composition. The outlines in Moku Hanga are extremely eye catching, replicating a hand chiseled relief-art. The Moku Hanga app, Moku the Japanese word for “wood” while hanga is known as “print”, allows you to create an artistic wood-block print from any picture or snapshot - no need for time consuming carving - the artists from JixiPix do all the work for you! With the power to fully customize your Moku Hanga, you can create a masterpiece artistic enough be part of printmaking history!
Breathtaking landscapes, beautiful women, and busy cityscapes can be transformed into this exotic art known for flowing hand-chiseled outlines and brushed on color. I loved the area where we stayed there were more rainbows there than I'd seen in a very long time.You've discovered the fascinating art of Moku Hanga, the Japanese method of wood-block printing. Here's a little sketch I did from the window of our manoa airbnb, of the misty rainy mountains. It encouraged me to spend more time on my printmaking practice and I can't wait to start more prints. It was a thoroughly enjoyable conference, where it was great to meet up with old and new friends and colleagues. Katie, Yoonmi and I also showed our previous wood+paper+box print collaborations on a separate table, and everyone was encouraged to open and handle each of our individual prints in the boxes. Here you can see my blue Into the Garden piece in an alternative configuration. I showed a selection of my mokuhanga prints and artists books, and spoke to anyone who was interested. I had never participated in the open portfolio at the previous conferences so I thought I would give it a go this time. My Meyer Lemon Curd Recipe was also shown in the juried international group exhibition: Beauty of Mokuhanga: Discipline & Sensibility 木版画の美：修練と感性 I did quite a few sketches in the presentations I attended, and also at the conference opening and closings, of the speakers and committee members. It's lovely when it sways slightly in the breeze, and the plants seem to be alive. It represents an abstract garden, is printed so that it can be viewed from either side of the paper, and has a printed enclosure. Here's a close-up of my piece Into the Garden.
We also gave a presentation about the project during the conference. It was an extension of our current project (un)fold: we invited three printmakers, Sarah Hulsey, Fuko Ito and Mia O, to collaborate with us, exploring the ideas and acts of folding and unfolding, and the lineage of learning the mokuhanga technique. We installed Into the Fold, an exhibition of our newest collaborative mokuhanga project. In September, after a short holiday on the Big Island, I went to Oahu with my friends Katie Baldwin and Yoonmi Nam, to attend the 3rd International Mokuhanga Conference at Honolulu University.
