Fine art giclée print on acid free fine art Hahnemühle cotton rag fine art paper.
I worked on this copper plate etching for many weeks and took only 3 pulls of the print. I love the process of traditional printmaking and absolutely love how the plate looks so I scanned it in The Copper House on their museum quality cruse scanner. This piece is a once off artists proof.
It is unframed and will be shipped in a tube unless local collection is an option.
I’d be delighted to have it framed for you, just drop me a line.
Etching, a method of making prints from a metal plate, usually copper, into which the design has been incised by acid. The copperplate is first coated with an acid-resistant substance, called the etching ground, through which the design is drawn with a sharp tool. The ground is usually a compound of beeswax, bitumen, and resin. The plate is then exposed to nitric acid or dutch mordant, which eats away those areas of the plate unprotected by the ground, forming a pattern of recessed lines. These lines hold the ink, and, when the plate is applied to moist paper, the design transfers to the paper, making a finished print.
