Description
this is my second etching for my printmaking class. I have 3 done, but the 3rd is not worthy (ahem, finished) enough to be here.At most this might get some burnishing in the lighter areas to give them even more highlights.
enjoy the love!
a mix between the green and red lunar moths...cause I LOVE moths...
mmm...twisted trees...
p.s. download for full-on righteous detail >_<

oh, no. Copperplate is the name of the brand of paper we use. Since I use single dip, it's ready to print on after one dip instead of soaking it for hours...and I THINK that's the way to spell it...he never told us...the metal plate we use is zinc and we asphaltum the plate then needle and stick it into the acid to eat away at the lines.
This particular etching was done with both needle/acid etching and aquatinting.
It's fun...but annoying.
