Claudia McGill Post authorMay 27, 2022 at 10:13 am Thank you. It is interesting to me what a series of lines (not just in this postcard but even in pen and ink drawings) can accomplish.

Claudia McGill Post authorMay 27, 2022 at 10:15 am Thank you. Yes, I think that is a reason why this looks good, the softness contrast with the hard lines, and the softer colors with the stark black. I do like a good set of contrasting parts in an image, I do!
