Sketch to Etch
From sketching to etching. I posted the original sketch a few weeks ago and then the world changed, so in response to pandemic guidelines I am working in studio more. In this case have scanned the original sketch cropped, reversed, and resized the image to fit a 3"x5" format. From there I used a dry point to scratch the image into a plexiglass plate. Top is the reverse image gray scale scan. Middle is the 1st test print that wasn't wiped enough. Bottom is the second test print that I removed to much ink in the wiping process. Much is to be learned from mistakes and failures. I am on a never ending quest.
