The white-line color woodcut is a unique American invention that was developed in a small group of artists working together in 1915 in Provincetown. The collaborative spirit of that group encouraged a variety of unusual ideas which allowed for this technique to flourish. Our workshop will include all the elements needed to produce these single-block color prints as well as encourage further experimentation and exploration. Experienced artists will hone their skills and the workshop format will nurture the development of their personal sensibilities. Mid-level and beginning artists are welcomed and will gain insights by working alongside regular practitioners of this technique. A variety of wood and paper will be available as desired. Workshop attendees should be prepared with their own carving tools and paint and should come to the workshop with drawings or images to start.

Bill Evaul holds a BFA from Pratt Institute where he also taught lithography and wrote reviews and art pieces for Print Review Magazine. He attended graduate workshops at the Whitney Museum of American Art and came to the Cape in 1970 as a Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown. Evaul has been working with the white-line technique since 1979 and has contributed several innovations to the process, among which are the extensive use of layered color, the use of oil inks (traditional technique uses watercolor,) portraiture, and large scale (often six feet or more). He has lectured and taught workshops nationwide, including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, Philadelphia, PA; The Charles Demuth Foundation, Lancaster, PA; The Pacific Design Center, West Hollywood, CA; The Georgia Museum of Art, Athens, GA; The Zimmerli Museum of Art, New Brunswick, NJ; and others - especially Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill.
