You are never alone in the forest

My next linocut print will be based on Silver Birch trees. Today I started with some sketches in a sketchbook and then made a couple of versions in Procreate. The trees often look as if they have eyes so I came up with the title, after that I thought whether to add some eyes into the dark areas.

The next stage will be to draw onto Lino, carve and then print which will hopefully be completed over the coming week.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how the prints will work out.
