A triplet of Girls (2026)Etchings & engravings by Mariann Johansen-Ellis

a set of 3 aquatint etchings featuring "my girls", that will hang together and liven up any space you choose them for.
If, you wanted to change one of the prints for another same size and price, just get in touch.

The 3 prints each measure 10" x14" in paper,
and the actual printed area measures
6" x 9" (16 cm x 23 cm)

The three etchings are all signed and numbered in editions of 60 prints each.
Please note you might not receive the number in the photo.

a handprinted aquatint etching; this means that I have drawn the image, through a varnish, onto a copper plate, I then immerse the copper plate in acid, and the acid "bites" into the copper where I have removed the varnish. When the plate is done, and this takes a while, as most copper plates go in the acid several times, with me adding more detail and aquatint (gives dark tones) I ink the copper plate up for each print I make, you can only print once per inking. Once the ink and paper has dried I sign, title and number each print. As etchings are real hands on printmaking, printmakers are allowed to call their prints original prints, and etchings are very collectible. A great way to start an art collection!

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.
Find my printmaking movies in the “me at work” section, you can see me make and print an etching.

I'll ship your etchings carefully wrapped from my studio in Denmark, see my over 1000 reviews that I do a good job :o))
