I am really happy with how this print came out and with the juxtaposition of the solid, heavy kettle and the fluidity of the steam. The ink is a very dark green, almost black. I decided to mix this green because the paper itself is a very light, delicate shade of green, too delicate for black (which was my first plan). I think this extremely dark green works beautifully with the paper. Hand drawn, hand carved and hand printed using professional quality materials. Printed with oil based ink on beautiful Japanese Kitakata paper. This is a thin paper (36gsm) with a green hue. Some edges of the paper are deckled. this is a handmade piece, some small variations may occur from print to print making each piece unique. Approximate size of the paper: 26cm x 21cm
