| Two plate sugarlift etching, testing my skills at registration! |
In my quest to move away from drypoints, as you know I have been experimenting with sugar lift aquatints. Here are a few of the tests and experiments. The bugs got a little more creative inspired by a recent visit to the reserve collection in the Zoology Museum in Cambridge. What a treat that was! We also visited the Tate Print Collection on Wednesday and got to see some beauties close up. I just loved this early Hockney print, which I believe is his first etching… puts me to shame! Below are some photos from last week.
