White-line woodcut, also known as the Provincetown print, is a distinctive printmaking method developed in the early 20th century in Massachusetts. Unlike traditional woodcuts that require multiple blocks for color, this technique uses just one block to create a multicolor image. Carved lines define shapes and remain white in the final print, while watercolor is brushed directly onto the block and transferred to paper. This process blends the structure of carving with the expressive qualities of painting, producing vibrant, one-of-a-kind impressions. In this class, participants will learn how to design, carve, and register a block, apply watercolor to create luminous effects, and experiment with layering color. The method offers both precision and spontaneity, making it accessible to beginners while engaging for experienced artists. Students will leave with unique prints and the skills to continue exploring this painterly form of printmaking.
