Linocut Boats under a Crescent Moon

Three small boats sit beneath a cream crescent in this limited-color linocut. Dark water is cut with short ripple marks, and a low shoreline holds a few blocky trees. Rust-colored patches break the navy and cream without taking away the print's quiet rhythm.

Carved marks are the main clue. Ripple cuts usually run in short parallel groups, while tree branches make sharper forks. The moon's smooth arc gives you a clean boundary, but its neighboring sky pieces may look similar on both sides. Keep the boats apart by their hull shapes before reconnecting their reflections in the water.
