Artwork description:
With dogged determination, our four-legged friends take to the air. They are bonded by a comradery universal to flyers the world over!
I have drawn directly onto a grounded zinc plate using an etching needle. After about 12 minutes in acid, the lines which have been exposed are etched and when ink is applied and wiped off, it remains only in the grooves, creating the line. I have added an aquatint to achieve the subtle tones.
The plate is inked for each print which is handcrafted using an etching press and then hand-finished with watercolour making it unique and one of a variable limited edition.
Each print is numbered as E.V (Edition Variable) and signed at the front.
The secondary images listed include pulling black and white prints which are proofs only.
Orders are carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue, loosely rolled into a wide (10cm), thick-walled cylinder and dispatched signed and tracked within four days.
Materials used:
Somerset Satin paper 200g, Intaglio inks, etching press
