| Description | Pine Trees is an etching made by coating a metal plate with a blocking material and scraping through that material with a needle or drawing tool. An acid bath eats away at the exposed portions of the plate when submerged. Wherever the plate is exposed is where the printed image will appear. The result is a fine art print that can be produced in editions. This print depicts the sun dappled floor of a pine forest, common to Alberta’s climate. Naturalistic shading of the trees is created by layers marks, ranging from detailed hatching and controlled lines to splatters and gestural marks. The result is a landscape drawing that inspires awe and evokes the sublime experience one feels when surrounded by nature. |
