This print is also inspired by my childhood paradise, Solund, an archipelago and the westernmost island municipality in Norway. The weather can change very fast.  Some days, the clouds, rain and grey shades suddenly change in vivid blues. 

Techniques I used in this print:

• Bokashi which gives beautiful gradations.  
• Urazuri - printing from the back - which gives a soft color.    
• Gomazuri - sesame printing - printing without nori (rice glue)
• Mokumezuri - wood grain for the waves

I used birch and pine blocks, pigment paste, water and nori.  Four sheets of Shin hosho kozopaper.
