Miyamoto applying paint to his watercolor/woodblock print. His technique involves using the woodblock as a stencil, to control exactly where the paint does and does not go. Each step in the process allows the watercolor to touch a new section or area of the print. After 30-40 uniquely carved woodblock stencils, the artist will reach the final, desired image. After watching the painstaking process, it's no wonder his prints sells for so much.
