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.

'Intimate Light'

Original soft-ground etching by Carl March.
One plate, one coloured ink and watercolour tinting.
Printed and painted on Banks cream paper.

Approximate paper size 27.0 x 32.0 cm.

Sketched directly onto a prepared copper plate with a soft crayon, then acid etched several times using traditional intaglio techniques.
Strong cross-hatching marks contrast well against the paler tones, all painted with watercolour.
Especially pleased with the finished work showing the textured lines of the soft crayon.
