www.inkenstabell.com/post/what-is... Quick overview of my etching process

inkenstabell.comWhat is etching?-- Für deutsche Version scrollen --I've met many people who didn't know about this traditional craft at all, so in today's post I'll cover the process of how to make an etching and what sets it apart from the usual art print. An etching is an intaglio print, meaning the ink sits inside etched lines in the plate which is then run through a roller press. The opposite would be relief printing, such as woodcut or linocut, where the print shows all that is not carved away. The craft is about 500 year

I feel like I turned into just a printing goblin for two weeks straight, managed like 5-12 prints per day depending on my condition. This etching and the other tree are editions of 30 prints each

Sorry for my radio silence here! I'm experimenting a lot with personal art and mixed media atm and it needs to just.... grow into something first. Lots of hiccups with certain media or techniques not working well together. But I haven't felt so creative in a long time! Also new tree etching WIP

The Old Oak (final version) Zinc etching, 30 x 40 cm I realised these flowy lines had been a reoccuring thing in my work for years, so I built this etching around that. Currently working on a sort of sequel to this one!

Black Waves II My first mixed media monotype experiment! Feeling like a mad scientist trying to combine anything and everything. No drawing medium is safe from meee 🙌

I used compressed charcoal, pastels, chalk and coloured pencils over a simple one-time print on Canson Mi-Teintes paper. Next to try is gouache. Mixed media has always been very freeing and satisfying to me, feels great to go back to it! Here's a pic of the zinc plate and the print
