After my tutorial I started researching some print artists. I thought about our print and surface lectures, and specifically about Maija Louekari's Hetkai. The sketchy-line overlay used here would work well with the movement sketches I have done...more drawings perhaps to play with?

| Hetkai |
Kathy had suggested that I look at Hockney's tree paintings...they're enormous! I don't think I'll be working that big just yet!?
 |
| Bigger Trees Near Water, 2007 |
Suzanne Manns exhibition The Truth About Trees popped up in my search. I was interested by her abstraction and overlay style
 |
| Dead of Winter |
Paula Zinsmeister had some interesting ways with collage and print
 |
| Tree Angels |
An article on Mbuti women and barkcloth brought up this interesting print
 |
| Mbuti Bark Cloth |
These bold composition paintings by Cara Enteles are just brilliant! Not 'prints' as such but the perspective and use of line and colour is great. Just what I need to be thinking about too...
 |
| Powerline Tree 4 |
 |
| Tree After Magenta |
Bryan Nash Gill creates these prints from real tree bark
I also discovered this brilliant blog on printmaking too - a very inspiring read!

| love the movement in this print by Margret Barnard |
I then went out to draw some more trees, and noticed that I was paying more attention to perspective, abstraction and line/surface detail.
