Description
Beautiful fragile butterflies, the best bit of summer I think. WHAT IS AN ETCHING?: a handprinted aquatint etching; I ink up the copperplate for each print pulled, this means that each print will have small differences to the next. I hope you treasure this as a sign of individuality & part of what makes an original print an original. I use first class papers & ink to give my work the best possible longevity. Aquatint is a technique where deep tones can be achieved on an etching, it involves rosin, that gets melted onto the copperplate with the help of a burner. If you would like to see me make & print an etching, go to my printmaking films on Youtube, just search under my name. EDITION: "Butteerflies" is printed in an edition of only 20 prints, please be aware that I can't guarantee that you get the number on the photo. Each print is numbered, titled & signed by me. SIZE: I have printed on a piece of warm white heavyweight printmaking paper, perfect for the image, the paper measures 15" x 9" (38 x 22 cm) SHIPPING: I'll mail your etching from my studio with many years experience in packing my art, see my reviews. Thank you for looking in my shop & very welcome back!
