Mt. Fuji Print: Hokusai's Print, Part 3

3 years ago

In this demonstration, there is more discussion on how to use the burin and follow the pencil lines in your matrix. Consider creating the clouds in the background or not. It's up to you. Also please keep in mind that in Hokusai's print, he created his mountain (Mt. Fuji) to be towards the right side of his page, not in the center. And then the white of his name on the side as Japanese and Chinese people sign their name in Characters, or in Japanese it is called "kanji", you see that his name is on the far upper left hand of the print.

If you get rid of his signature, the entire composition is off. Again, we are experimenting so I am not expecting us to be aware of how to create balance in a composition. But should you be interested, it may be worth listening to of how an artist considers an entire composition to be complete and balanced.
