| Description | Spruce 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 printed in editions. This print depicts a snow-covered spruce forest floor. The trees are rendered with layers of detailed hatching and controlled lines. This is contrasted with splatters and gestural marks. The overall effect is a peaceful landscape scene amidst the trees. |
