Experiment in etching an aquatint

Aquatint etching with à la poupée inking experiment.

“Desales ar Dawn”
6” x 8”
Intaglio, 2023

I wanted to experiment with number 3 lithography crayons over spray paint aquatint and using timed biting to create an atmospheric scene. Looking to improve definition of Desales’s iconic steeple with future etching and more attention while inking the plate.
