Hardground etching on Fabriano Rosapina

Indigenous botanical etching of the Agapanthus flower. First attempt at hardground, I enjoy the linear nature of it and level of detail that can be achieved.

Aquatint over hardground etching on Fabriano Rosapina
140 mm (w) X 190 mm (h) 
Indigenous botanical etching of the Agapanthus flower. My first attempt at using aquatint over the original hardground plate. I need practice now that I know how it responds. I feel this was not very successful but we live and learn.

Softground etching on Fabriano Rosapina

The brief was to create a little landscape of the heart. This is my first attempt at softground which is a process I love and will be exploring further.
