Artist's comments ...

Name: Aaron Gillette
Location: Bettendorf, IA

Print Title: Rivers Crossing
Paper Dimension: 5" x 7"
Image Dimension: Roughly 4 1/2"  x 6 1/2" inches

Pigment or Ink: Akua Kolor
Paper: Rives BFK
Edition: 45
Comments: This was fun.  I used a lino key block to reduce the variation in my line work, since the only wood I have on hand is Luan.  The Luan, however, was perfect for the color blocks, which were meant to be irregular and grainy.  To achieve the translucent blues and greens, quite a bit of transparent base was added to the Akua Kolors.  The edition was printed with a disk baren.
