Description
every autumn the large V's of geese fly over, honking, making me long for going with them. a handprinted aquatint etching, this means that as the artist, I create a copperplate that holds the image, from this copperplate I print an edition, every time a print is printed, the copperplate has to be inked up, this means that small differences can occur, & should be treasured as to why etchings are called original prints. Etchings are lovely to make as they can hold so much detail, you do the drawing with a needle through an acid resistant varnish, & can add details over the many times a copper plate like this gets put in the acid bath. when I am happy with the drawing I add aquatint, a process that gives gradations in the soft colors. I printed "Heading South" on a piece of beautiful warm white printmaking paper, that measures 13" x 17",(33 cm x 43 cm) the size of the copperplate image is 10" x 12" (24 cm x 29 cm), this gives you plenty of paper to frame the print as a statement if you would like. I sign, title & number each print. "Heading South" is printed in a limited edition of only 50 prints. Please note that I can't guarantee that you receive the number in the photograph. I'll mail your etching from my studio in Denmark with a lot of care so it arrives safely, see my reviews! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch, I'd love to hear from you!
