Mountains

Blue pen, brush and linocut mountains, cut out of their paper: a high peak, a small peak, a peak above mist, a range with contour lines, a 1934 ridge sketch, a brush ridge, and a linocut of peaks over waves. Each in the blue it was drawn in, cobalt and black; the linocut also in three lighter blues. A candidate look for a sub-brand.

Rights
Not cleared. Traced or cut from mood board images whose rights are not cleared: fine for mockups and drafts; redraw, re-source or clear before anything goes public.

Pen and brush drawings are PNG only: their transparency follows the ink, so light hatching stays light.
