Etching 1: Tonal Practice






I began experimenting with different tones using the inking/removal of ink process. On some plates I would apply the ink heavily and take off more, or barely apply any ink and take off very little. I have grown fond of having a light grey tone in the back round of the print. They are not perfect, but progress is being made...

Etching 1: The First Print
