Artwork description:

The glorious Lime Avenue on Hampstead Heath, my favourite place to walk and sketch...
This is a handmade original print; I redrew my sketch onto a grounded zinc plate with an etching needle, before placing it in an acid bath. The exposed line is 'bitten' leaving deep grooves to hold ink. I then added an aquatint to achieve the delicate tones.

The plate is inked for every print in the edition, meaning each one is unique.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Materials used:

Somerset Velvet paper 300g, Intaglio inks, etching press
