Birch Trunk #1

Oil over monotype, hand scroll hahnnemühle copperplate bright paper.

16x48"

Limited edition 1 of 1.

Birch tree in a Chicagoland forest preserve.

Monotype processes differ from artist to artist. I paint on a plexiglass plate, then use an etching press to transfer the image. Then I add extra contrast and color directly to the paper. Hence, oil over monotype.

Sister piece to Oak Tree With Invasive Vine.
