Snowfall - Etching

A small tonal etching of a snowscape, A cosy alpine hut with a view of the winter wilderness across the lake and mountains. The image is made using 5-point perspective where the image curves within the domed format of the circle. For those with a sense of adventure and a love of nature and the great outdoors. The world is so frantic and stressful sometimes that it is important to value moments of peace and silence. 

The image was made using non-toxic copper-sulphate etching onto an aluminium plate. The plate was hand inked and printed on a traditional etching press. It is printed on soft, white somerset paper. The ink was 'Brown-shade-black'  which gives a slight sepia quality to the colour. The inks are applied by hand before a single run through the press, this method means that there will be a slight variation in each print.

Each print is signed, and titled by the artist. This is an un-numbered edition because the plate was originally made for gifts.

The image itself is 10cm diameter. Each print is packed with cellophane and archival tissue, has a board backing, is carefully wrapped and posted flat in a stiff cardboard envelope.

Copyright remains with the artist.
