“Theircoming”

.

Hard ground and soft ground etched- acids! solvents! mineral spirits! I went over it with drypoint too. Aquatint for the elephant shadows…it’s where you put the copper plate on a rack, close the door, and turn a handle really fast 20 something times to make a cloud of rosin that evenly coats the plate. There were a lot of shifts in the plate such as using a roulette tool to give textured shadows to the other idols and scraping, sanding, and burnishing parts of where I’d mistakenly drawn to then drypoint over. These were based on some minuscule animalistic beads I’ve got that stand on a shelf. For the cloverlets I did Chine-collé by cutting out and gluing this green dyed paper so that I can carefully lay it on its back on the plate to then align paper on top and print . I have some more that I will share later but this was good to work with my hands I could have done better at wiping the plate of its ink but let me know what you think

In March and April @budacastlemaine will exhibit a series of recent etchings inspired by travels in Europe and Australia. Here’s a sneak peak of the second etching of Buda itself, and part of its magnificent garden. #buda #budahistorichomeandgarden #castlemaine @castlemainefestival #castlemainestatefestival #historichouse #garden #countryvictoria #etching #hardground #intaglio #linework #copperplate (at Raleigh Street Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm-VJrjBfZ8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Your Heir”

.

Expiriment with Chine Collé using my mothers vintage wrapping paper. The subject is my grandmothers clasped mother of pearl box, an heirloom that has another like it. I chose to aquatint the the plate to get a gradation in tones and I went over in drypoint to emphasize the texture of the shell.. .

Yesterday I spent another day filming the proofing and printing two etchings and a drypoint. It's funny how the etching that I was least happy with, needed more work but ended up becoming the better print. It's knowing that it's not right but pushing it further, balancing out the tones. I've already posted the two plates being drawn, etched and aquatinted on my YouTube channel. Next week I'll edit my footage and get these online too. #etching #softground #hardground #intaglioprints #drypoint #interiorfigurepainting #scraperburnisher #prints #print #printmaking #selfportrait #drawing #lifedrawing #selfisolation @fineartprintmaking_uob @selfportraitprize @brightonalumni @uniofbrighton @printpete @inkspotpress @printmakingclass23 @printmakerscouncil https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ2zybBrPT7/?utm_medium=tumblr

New etching - a small view Ayutthaya in Thailand. I made the original drawing way back in 2015 while heading south to Malaysia after six months on the road.
