Relief printmaking, also known as suicide printmaking, is a process in which you create an image by printing off the surface of a wood-block and removing the areas you do not wish to print. Color reduction printing is a method of relief printing where you print light to dark colors in progression removing the areas of wood in which you want to keep a certain color. In this way you produce layers of color which create the image.
