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.

Artwork is presented against dark backgrounds to show deckle edge of the papers.
I have included picture details below each image.

Edition size 50 plus 10 artists proofs.
Each print individually hand made by myself, then numbered and signed.

Elegant study of a reclining figure.
Sketched directly onto a copper plate with a brush and sugar-lift solution, then acid etched using traditional intaglio techniques.
Flowing lines help describe the model's exaggerated proportions against the background aquatint.
Especially pleased with the finished work showing Bella's pretty face and cheeky smile, which helped sales at the RA Summer Exhibition.
