Figurative Etchings and Engravings
All works are based upon my own thoughts and observations. Some are sketched directly from life with a model others are developed from my active imagination. I like to experiment with different drawing media, I also enjoy combining different etching techniques to try and achieve a particular look or feel. Recently I have introduced more background textures to help compliment some of the strong graphic lines. Other images work equally as well with just a few simple lines, less is more.

Sketched directly onto a copper plate with a pencil, followed by traditional engraving techniques.
Attracted to the unusual view point of looking down upon the relaxing figure.
The immediacy of the dry-point scratching the surface of the plate can produce some surprising effects.
Very pleased with finished work showing the subtle paler tones, all painted with watercolour.
