Description
My absolutely favorite place in all the world, a wild beach! This is an aquatint etching, that is, with the help of ferric Chloride acid I have incised my drawing onto a copper plate, I then add a technique called aquatint to get the different shades, this technique involves a rosin & heat, & is quite tricky to get right. When the copper plate is done, I handprint each & every print from it, apply the ink, & put it through my etching press, a very traditional hands on way of creating prints which also means that us printmakers are allowed to call them original prints. The actual copper plate measures 6" x 11" ( 15 cm x 28 cm )and I have printed the image onto a beautiful velvety piece of printmaking paper, the piece of paper measures 10" x 14" (25 cm x 35 cm ) I have signed, titled & numbered the print in a short edition of only 60 prints. Please note you probably will not receive the number in the photo. I ship my prints from my studio in Denmark, with many years experience of packing my prints so they arrive safely, see my reviews.
