my first intaglio print



its an etching on a zinc plate done by hand and then acid etched. The imagery is basic (and caca) but the process was eye opening. Next step is to add grey feilds of shading for depth. Its a time consuming process but worth the fianl textured piece. Some amazing mid tones. Anyone else experimented with some old world techniques?
