Brenda Hartill is a British artist who originally worked in theatre, and moved to printmaking for more freedom. Hartill likes to combine mediums, such as with collagraphs and other methods like painting, etchings, and other methods of printmaking.
I chose this piece because of the palette. I am a big fan of cool colors and this is what I enjoy a lot. There is definitely a nice balance as far as graduation of the colors. It almost seems monochromatic. Since there is colors fading from dark blue to white. But! But there is also a sea like green-blue. Which creates warmer areas of the piece. Colour creatures balances. And with collagraph, it is hard to obtain that with how freeform it is. I think it was captured nicely with the tone of the colors used, and then how it's arranged. Along with the piece separated into four sections, like four pictures in a row. And there is the very low and deep graduation between a very dark blue to a dark sea-green blue. It gives a great atmosphere.
