Etching and Aquatint

A new aquatint box!! does that delicious rich velvety blacks that are such an intrinsic part of etching..... and made by eldest highly talented son Victor... of Volpe's Cabinetmaking... Cromer.



Laundry has become my extended studio!

I've got the rose plate back to speed.... the darks in the aquatint had a breaking down issue.... gave me a chance to get the box going with rich dark results...



1min 50sec bite with good boost of rosin for rich covering.
