The artist creates his images by the etching process. Each one is hand created and handcolored after printing on the etching press. The subjects range from landscapes to horses to birds to buildings. All are exquisitely detailed, finely done works of art.
Etching is an art process that involves a sheet of copper that is coated with a resist.
The artist uses a needle to draw the images into the wax like resist. The plate is submerged into acid and lines are eaten into the metal wherever the resist was removed by the needle. The plate is cleaned and then ink is applied into the lines that were created from the etching process. The inked plate is then placed on the bed of an etching press and paper laid on top. Felt blankets are laid on top of the paper, and the plate is now run between two large steel rollers.
