No. 146 🎨 How long did this Provincetown waterfront art print take? Find out
Sep 5, 2026
This art print was inspired by a Provincetown waterfront shoreline view I found during a bike ride - a house that was a location in American Horror story, the sand, the rocks, the harbor, and the Pilgrim Monument all come together in this white-line woodblock print.
I'll show you how I chose the colors for each element, how I use gouache alongside watercolor paints, and my techniques for painting on wood to get a clean and vibrant print.
