This print shows a rough, black-and-white shape that looks like a tree with jagged lines for branches. The background is mostly white, but the edges of the tree have dark, uneven patches. The lines are uneven, almost like they were drawn by hand but then pressed hard. The artist used a mix of ink and paint to create this rough, sketchy look. The dark areas aren’t smooth—they’re messy, like ink bleeding into paper. Next, check out gouache to see how this paint works.
