“Hold You Dear” 4.5×6″ copper etching with watercolor

Description

Hold You Dear
4.5 x 6″ electrolytic copper etching, 2023
Paper size: 11 x 15″

This is a one of a kind print created in three layers: watercolor washes on kitakata paper, subtle color and shading printed from a separate aquatint plate, and finally the lines in black ink on top. I love that this one has a kind of storybook feel, with the soft bleeding watercolor.

This is an electrolytic copper etching, meaning that I draw everything by hand then used electricity to etch into the copper plate. Lovingly hand made and hand printed by me! <3
