Figurative Etchings and Engravings
All works are based upon my own thoughts and observations, some are sketched directly from life with a model others are developed from my imagination.
I like to experiment with different drawing media to try and achieve a particular look or feel. Recently I have introduced more background textures to help compliment some of the strong graphic lines. Other images work equally as well with just a few simple lines, less is more.
Each print is individually hand made by myself, works are presented against dark backgrounds to show deckle edge of the papers.
Picture details are included below each image.

Study of a figure holding a wine glass.
Sketched directly onto a prepared copper plate with a bamboo pen and sugar-lift solution, then acid etched using traditional intaglio techniques.
Thick and thin lines contrast well against the softer textured background, especially pleased with the finished work and title with suggestive wine reference.
