Moonlit Forest (2024)Etchings & engravings
by Rebecca Denton

Walking together under the soft glow of the winter's moon..

A whimsical colour etching.

This started as a pencil sketch which was then 'redrawn' onto grounded zinc with a needle. The plate was then placed in acid which 'bites' the exposed line, leaving grooves to hold ink. The plate is inked and printed for every print in the edition, meaning each one is unique.

I have hand-finished the dry editions with a little watercolour (for the fox)

Orders are carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue, flat-packed between board and shipped signed and tracked within four days.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
