What Means Woodcut? (part 2)
The main tools for a woodcut work are the gouge. But many engravers, mostly self-thaught, uses a lot of other tools, like pocket knife and utility knife.
To stamp the paper on the matrix, is used a press.
In the picture below, we have one of the appropriate models for woodcut.
What you engrave in the wood board, become inverted in the paper print, like a mirror.
Everything who was carved turns white in the print (if the paper is white, of course).
These two things is what most confuses the mind of beginners in this technique.
