Summer Etchings



Here is Main Main again. She is my model for my etching plate.
Finally, I am picking up my printmaking technique again.
The last time I did my etching prints that was in 2002.
I love to do etching. The fun part of etching is like cooking.
Each print won't be the same, the paper , the ink color, the press all can affect the printing.
Working drawing on the metal plate is not only one step which is fun.
Hard ground , soft ground, aquatint ... all those technique surprise me sometimes.
