Summer (Etching + Aquatint)
€40.00
Intaglio prints printed from a 15 x 10.5 cm metal plate.
Please select the print that you would like - you will receive exactly the print that you see!
A metal plate is covered in a substance called ground, lines are engraved into it, and then it is dipped in acid. The acid eats away at the exposed bits, creating a plate with etched grooves which you push ink into and print from. The "shading" is aquatint, created by further covering the plate in resin dust and etching it in acid multiple times, with different parts of the print covered in ground each time, creating different shades.
(all orders under 50 EUR are sent untracked by default, please add on tracked shipping separately!)
