Test plate #2

July 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Here is my test plate for learning aquatint! (An etching method using melted rosin/ or spray paint to create tones). I printed it in a few different colors, but I liked the way the reddish purple came out.

Water has been a big theme in everything I’ve done for a while now. Whether it be swimmers, divers, or icebergs, I’ve been depicting people who are immersed in water-worlds. The figures are usually unaware & oblivious to the unnatural setting. Apocalypse now! The remapping of New York for rising sea levels is a huge concern here; people in NY are pretty good about preparing for the worst.
