Artwork description:

A colour etching of the Parliament Hill Lido on Hampstead Heath, view towards the cafe.

This handmade original print started as a pencil sketch of my local lido where I swim almost every morning. I redraw my sketch onto grounded zinc before placing the plate in acid which 'bites' the exposed line, leaving grooves to hold ink. When the prints are dry I add a little pink watercolour to areas.

Orders are carefully wrapped in acid-free tissue, flat-packed between board and shipped signed and tracked within four days.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Materials used:

Somerset Velvet paper 300g, Intaglio inks, etching press
