Artwork description:

it is almost always fear of the unknown that holds us back, wonder what would happen if we just dived right in instead?
A drypoint etching means that I have with a sharp tool drawn the image onto the aluminium plate, raising a burr, that then catches the ink. Drypoints are fragile, as every time they go through the press, each time I print a print, pressure is applied that flattens the burr.
When the prints are dry I hand color them with water color, this also means that each print might have small color variations, especially on the splash of water, as this is made for each print! I hope you treasure this as part of handmade original prints.

Ignorance is Bliss measures in paper, a warm white heavy weight best quality printmaking paper, 15" x 23" ( 39 cm x 58 cm ) and the printed area measures 12" x 18" ( 30 cm x 46 cm ).
Each print comes signed, titled and numbered, in an edition of 6 prints, please note you might not receive the number in the photo.

I ship from my studio in Denmark with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my many reviews.
thanks so much for looking and come back soon, Mariann
