I'm sharing my aquatint etching all framed and ready to be taken to the RWA in Bristol this coming weekend.
This is an intaglio print. Which means that the watching plate (an aluminium metal plate) is incised by dipping it in an "acid" bath. (The acid is actually a copper sulphate solution)
When the plate is ready the ink is then pushed into the lines and the whole plate is polished clean. Then damp paper is used to pull the print. Each new print requires reinking. So this is a limited edition of 20 prints.
This is print one of twenty (1/20)
So excited to have my work selected for this amazing exhibition for

Many thanks to you all for your kind and encouraging comments. It’s not a very big print, 6 x 4 inches. Helen
