This 6" x 8" drypoint etching with monotype color layers captures the rugged beauty of Mt. Antero. The rich, inky lines of the drypoint technique carve out the mountain's dramatic ridges and contours, creating a sense of depth and texture. Over these etched details, transparent monotype layers bring the scene to life with soft, atmospheric color.
