This print is created from a shaped copper etching plate.
Intaglio etching is a labour-intensive printmaking technique that involves incising lines & dots onto a copper plate with a sharp point. It is then etched in Ferric Chloride, which bites the design into the copper plate.
It features multiple intaglio techniques, including 8 separate etchings, 4 acrylic aquatint sprays, multiple layers of drypoint tones, aquatint spit-bite painting & highlight burnishing using agate stones.
The plate is then inked with etching ink. The ink sits in the grooves, whilst the surface ink is wiped off. The ink is then drawn from the incised lines onto dampened paper, using an etching press.
Each print is original and takes a long time to produce.
I print in small editions, keeping the work precious and limited.
Please note: Each print may vary slightly, as they are individually printed by hand. The tonal values may be slightly lighter or darker than the example in the image.
- I generally have a proportion of the edition already printed.Please be aware that the pieces may be printed to order.
