Artwork description:

London's Shard, looking South from Parliament Hill, Hampstead Heath.

This is a handmade colour etching.

I redrew my pencil sketch onto a grounded zinc plate with an etching needle. After a soak in acid, the exposed lines are etched forming deep grooves to hold ink. The plate is then inked and pulled through a press for every number in the small edition.

This will be 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!

Materials used:

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