the beginnings of some plate lithography...

A proof print of the background layer...

...and the next layer to be printed. I am hoping to make this into a two or three colour piece, and capture some of the atmosphere in the dark skies of the big smoke!

Some etching...

I had a little extra time in the print workshop today so i tried out a bit of hard ground etching (no printing yet, just making the plate). Just a bit of doodling to see how long i would have to leave a similar piece in the acid. Interesting stuff, hopefully i will be able to use this technique in creating my next masterpiece!
