Wreck Point- Paper dry point etching


Wreck Point
Hand coloured Dry point etching
Edition Number- Variation 1/10
Image Size: 52cm by 32.5 cm
AU$250

This is a paper dry point etching. The technique involves etching into a plate with etching needles , engraving with a rotary tool, scratching the surface with sandpaper and embossing objects into the plate. I then inked the plate and printed it onto cast coated paper.

After the printing, I hand coloured the image with water colour pencils, pigmented pens, and rolled numerous oil based glazes over the entire image.

Midnight Foliage- Collagraphy print



"Midnight Foliage"
Dimensions: Image size: 38cm by 35cmEdition number: Artist Proof ( State 1)
Original collography print
Medium: Printing offset inks on artist quality Stonehenge printmaking paper.
Postage: : Your Art work includes a certificate of Authenticity and presented in a gallery wallet.
I started by drawing my figure into a plastic surface. I them embossed the surface with a variety of foliage. I collaged paint, mesh tape, sand paper, and lacquer to the surface. Because the plastic is soft, ( much like lino) I was able to carve into the plastic as well. I then inked this surface of materials and laid a moist sheet paper on top. A traditional printing press pushes the plate and paper together and creates a limited edition print. As seen above.
Questions are welcome.
