A WOOD ENGRAVING OR WOODCUT, IS A RELIEF METHOD OF PRINTING. THE IMAGE IS LEFT RAISED ABOVE WHAT IS CARVED OUT OF THE WOOD. THIS IS THEN INKED AND PRINTED. A WOODCUT TENDS TO BE CARVED FROM THE PLANK SIDE OF THE WOOD, THEREFORE IS USUALLY QUITE CRUDE IN ITS APPEARANCE, WHEREAS A WOOD ENRAVING TENDS TO BE CARVED FROM THE BEAM END, USUALLY OUT OF HARD BOX OR FRUIT WOOD, AND CAN BE VERY FINE IN DETAIL. ERIC GILL WAS A GREAT WOOD ENGRAVER, WHILST PAUL GAUGUIN WAS DRAMATIC WOODCUT ARTIST.
