Description
Los Angeles printmaker/teacher David Glines, who studied with John Paul Jones, created an expansive landscape using black and white woodcut. The composition is accomplished with a patchwork of multidirectional lines in the foreground that loosely define fields and trees, evolving into hills at the horizon. Using different tools he creates a softened sky with billowy clouds, done using varied crosshatch lines.
The overall effect can be contemplative, not an interplay between harsh black and white, as the viewer is gently led through the landscape to the distance.
