Walter Phillips‘s Rest exemplifies the artist’s mastery in blending Japanese woodblock techniques with serene Canadian landscapes. He used overlapping, translucent water-based inks and compositional devices inspired by Japanese prints for an effect akin to his many watercolors. His color choices varied with each impression and Rest is a particularly beautiful and subtle impression.
