Yesterday I experimented with aquatint at East London Printmakers.
These are three very small plates, about 3 inches by 2 inches. Click to enlarge the picture.

Three etchings made today at a course at East London Printmakers.
The ones of the men and the landscape are made with “soft ground”. The ‘Bread and wine’ was a line drawing etched using hard ground, and then the patterns went on in soft ground in two later dips.
Leader of the course: Ann Norfield
On 23rd Nov I added more soft ground into the top windows.
