What is etching?
-- Für deutsche Version scrollen --I've met many people who didn't know about this traditional craft at all, so in today's post I'll cover the process of how to make an etching and what sets it apart from the usual art print. An etching is an intaglio print, meaning the ink sits inside etched lines in the plate which is then run through a roller press. The opposite would be relief printing, such as woodcut or linocut, where the print shows all that is not carved away. The craft is about 500 year

Some recent escapism
Still busy adding lines. This small portion took 5h and I'm NOT a slow drawer lol. It‘s also the 4th layer of lines now, I think. Lines just do take ages, surprises me every single time again. Tbf I didn't expect to cover the whole plate with lines… Looks better though

New WIP! I love the idea of dedicating artworks to my fav trees, since I've studied their different morphology and habitats at uni for some years.

Some of my favourite etchings from 2020. I've learned so much since then but never regained the productivity I had during lockdown. Only 2 weeks for a finished etching with 7h of focused work every day, crazy

Scanned the big etching and it's all ready to post, but now I'm really nervous about it hahaha
The paranoia of it performing badly and getting no reach after all this work
