Each and Every VI (2022) Etchings & engravings by Michaela Wheater

This original hand made print titled 'Each and Every VI' is a two plate coloured etching and aquatint. A line drawing made as a hard ground etching is on the principal plate while the second plate holds the colour with sugar lift and spit bite aquatint and a relief roll of soft, warm colour as background. The sugar lift and spit bite give a similar effect to watercolour, although it is made by etching zinc with a diluted solution of nitric acid. This is the third print from a small limited edition of 5 printed on Somerset soft white 300gsm.
Using myself as reference it is a portrait expressing emotion and is part of a small series which takes 'Each and Every' as a title.
