The first in a series of four. I did this as a sketch some time ago and didn’t finish it in class, so I completed it at home. All imaginary mountains of course.
Out of curiosity I photographed the inked up piece of Lino, and printed and coloured that image. You can see the Lino cuts, especially in the clouds, and the image is of course in reverse. Being hand coloured the sky in particular is different.
Is one better than the other? It may depend on which way you’re facing!
