Winter simplifies the Landscape for printmakers

Winter makes the landscape black and white. The branches of the trees are visible. City shapes stand out against the simplicity of white snow.

Winter inspiration for printmaking

I see inspiration for stencils when this happens in my neck of the woods. I know not everyone has white winters, so maybe you have another environmental condition that quiets the visual noise and feeds your printmaker’s heart.

Maybe it is a time of day or a foggy day.

Be open to seeing a simplified landscape

to inspire your next printmaking project.

I see shapes with just enough interest to become a stencil for working on the gelatin plate.

  • trees
  • twigs
  • birds on a wire
  • buildings on the horizon
