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.
Each print is individually hand made by myself, works are presented against dark backgrounds to show deckle edge of the papers.
I have included picture details below each image.

'Gina'
Original etching with aquatint by Carl March.
One plate, one coloured ink and watercolour tinting.
Printed and painted on Somerset cream paper.
Image size 14.5 x 9.5 cm.
Approximate paper size 28.0 x 22.0 cm.
Edition size 50 plus 10 artists proofs.
Available with presentation mount £85.00.
Sketched directly onto a copper plate with a brush and sugar lift solution, then acid etched using traditional intaglio techniques.
Delicately painted background was added at a later date, Gina's pretty face and casual pose add extra appeal.
Especially pleased with the finished work showing the sensitive brush strokes.
