Learn the technique to create a multi-color print using watercolors from a singular carved pine woodblock. White-line print also known as the Provincetown Print originated in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1915. B.J.0. Nordfeldt, a Santa Fe artist and later associate member of the Taos Society of Arts, was instrumental in its development.
