  6. Basic Principle • The basic principle of relief printing is to create an image on paper from the raised surface of the matrix.

  7. Draw and Cut • The artist draws onto a surface (the block or matrix) and then cuts away the areas that are not to form part of the image. These areas are the negative parts of the image, or the spaces around what we see generally consider to be the image. Thus the ink only reaches the areas the artist does not touch.

  8. Transfer the drawing to a cutting surface

  10. The block is inked and a piece of paper laid over it.

  11. Printing • The artist then either rubs the paper using their hand or a hard, smooth object or runs it through a printing press.

  12. Pulling the Print • The image produced on the paper mirrors that on the block. Woodcuts and linocut are the most common examples of relief prints.
