What are the characteristics of woodcut painting?

Commonly known as "woodcut". This is the most popular type of printmaking. A painting carved on a board with a knife and then printed on paper; It is the earliest form of Chinese and foreign printmaking. The boards used are pear wood, boxwood, white peach and ginkgo wood. Wood carving is carved with the vertical board of the tree, and wood carving is carved with the horizontal board. A picture with convex lines and more white and less black is called positive engraving; A painting with four lines as the main component and more black than white is called intaglio; It can also be alternately mixed with negative engraving and positive engraving. A work with more than two colors overprinted with multiple boards is called overprinting woodcut. Because of the different properties of pigments used in rubbing, they can be divided into mimeograph woodcut and watermark woodcut. The biggest feature of woodcut is "replacing pen with knife and paper with wood". This also determines that woodcut has unique artistic effects such as "simplicity, intensity and distinctiveness". Because woodcut originated from the people, it has been widely popularized, applied, improved and developed because of its simple tools, easy material acquisition, random frame, convenient production and easy preservation.
