Surface roll of intaglio plate

This is a surface roll print of a plate a plate I originally etched in 2005. I added aquatint in 2010. An early aquatint experiment, I probably left the plate in the acid too long, and the lightly etched lines of the original image were largely obscured. Printing via surface roll produced more interesting results than the usual intaglio process.

A big change, then a small one

1. It began as another of my Sebastian paintings.

2. Some major fiddling later, the earlier version was nearly obliterated.

3. This round of changes was far less severe, and was more of a balancing and tuning, rather than a radical change

I’m happy with where this painting ended up, but I confess that some part of me misses the first version pictured above.
