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.
This is an etching on a copper plate, based on a photograph I took at Stourhead.
