Skyline

Each coloured woodblock is printed by hand using professional quality printmaking inks and traditional hand carving tools. No digital processes have been used in the creation of this image.

The image was drawn onto wood, then using inks the colour was added with a brush to provide an impressionistic effect. This process is repeated by hand for each print. Consequently, no two prints are the same. Therefore, only one print is on sale at a time. The image you see is the image you will receive once purchased.

Once the colour edition size has been printed, the wood is carved into leaving only the detail of the lines, known as the key block. The key block was printed on to an additional block to create a snow texture on the mountains. This was created by using tissue paper glued onto the block and ink roller over the tissue paper to capture the fine lines of the snow. The final process is when the key block is inked using a brayer (roller) and placed on top of the coloured prints and finally printed on top of the coloured prints.

Once this edition is finished no more can be made. There are only eight of these prints, similar but not identical in colour.
