Westonbirt Oak (2023)Etchings & engravings
by Fiona Hamilton

This large etching is made using multiple layers of hard ground, aquatint, sugar lift, scraping and burnishing. Printed using charbonnel ink onto delicate 12gsm gampi chine collé and Somerset Satin paper. The gampi has a beautiful sheen that gives the print something extra in real life. I have a couple of proofs using a slightly darker and thicker chine collé paper.

This print is from an oak tree I encountered at Westonbirt Arboretum. I produced a series of screen prints a few years ago based on visits there. I revisited some of the photos and sketches to produce this print and others on my recent MA.

Somerset paper 300gsm, Gampi paper 12gsm, Charbonnel ink
