Photo Transfer Blocks

This week I have been working on my process for the next 4 block prints I am working on this is how I developed the surface.

First I made a plan of what I would like to have on each wooden panel

Then I collaged the background of each panel

Here is a close up of one of the boards without paint just collage

Then I painted the boards to get them ready for photo transfer
