Artwork description:

The sun-dappled Avenue of plane trees in Hyde Park..

This is a handmade original print; I redrew my sketch onto a grounded zinc plate with an etching needle, before placing it in an acid bath. The exposed line is 'bitten' leaving deep grooves to hold ink. I then added an aquatint to achieve the delicate tones.

The plate is inked for every print in the edition, meaning each one is unique.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Materials used:

Somerset Satin paper 300g, Intaglio inks, zinc plate, etching press
