Aspens take on the appearance of different colors, not just white, and under certain lighting conditions can appear quite dark, but no black aspens! After proofing this print a few weeks ago I decided to carve the trunk out to make it white.
Here is the latest print, a departure for sure, from a more representational scene.
Inspired by a woodblock print titled, Yarrow, by Alex Katz.
I decided to try a simple line "drawing" of Lone Cone with a forest foreground.
On the left, white ink on toned paper, right, dark gray ink on white paper.
Three proofs in the studio.
White line on toned paper.
