New WIP! I love the idea of dedicating artworks to my fav trees, since I've studied their different morphology and habitats at uni for some years.

It is, I'd say only half the time on an etching is spent drawing the image

What is etching? -- Für deutsche Version scrollen --I've met many people who didn't know about this traditional craft at all, so in today's post I'll cover the process of how to make an etching and what sets it apart from the usual art print. An etching is an intaglio print, meaning the ink sits inside etched lines in the plate which is then run through a roller press. The opposite would be relief printing, such as woodcut or linocut, where the print shows all that is not carved away. The craft is about 500 year

Quick overview of my etching process

Yeah it was all etched into zinc plates in many layers

It's line-etching and aquatint

Some of my favourite etchings from 2020. I've learned so much since then but never regained the productivity I had during lockdown. Only 2 weeks for a finished etching with 7h of focused work every day, crazy

You should, it's so much fun!

Thank you :)

Wave in the front. A mix of expressive aquatint brush strokes and lines which were etched afterwards to accentuate the more contrasty bits.

Front of the ship. Mostly line etching with the brighter parts burnished in the gaps.

Background waves. Line-etching over aquatint plains of different values.
