I'm exhibiting 3 landscape etchings with the Printmakers Council at Linden Hall Studio - a contemporary art gallery in Deal, Kent, 9-30 July.
At Scarborough Art Gallery - 'Lasting Impressions' exhibition with the Printmakers Council, June 2017
One of my drypoint prints was exhibited in the 'Lasting Impressions' exhibition which comprised work from the archive of the Printmakers Council, for which Scarborough Art Gallery is the repository.
What an amazing selection of prints in this exhibition!

Three etchings hand printed from the plate using my etching press. I've applied different coloured inks to create different final images.

I then used diluted coffee and painted an image (based on this sketch) onto a piece of aluminium plate. I rolled Baldwin's 'Big Ground' over the top and baked it all in the oven. Then I put the plate in warm water and rubbed away the ground which was onto of the coffee. See below...
The image revealed on the plate!
Then I placed the plate in a mordant to etch the image into the metal. See here some plates in the copper sulphate saline solution...
Then I inked up and printed the plates using my etching press.
