I only had time for a
short trip to HBP this week. I've decided to rework the butterfly that I etched
using gum arabic transfer as a resist.
I like the
text but the butterfly is far too dark to read against the background and it lacks detail.
I started by
scraping and burnishing. I wanted to clear the butterfly back to nearly white but
leave some underlying texture.
I think the
next step will be to put a soft ground on the plate. I’ll draw into this to
give the darks
