Description
Hand inked and printed original drypoint etching of a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel on a log in the woods. This is part of a series of prints called ‘moments of joy’, capturing a life giving moment.
Limited edition of 12 – every piece is inked up individually by hand so there will always be subtle differences making each one unique.
Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking method that involves scratching an image into a plate with a pointed tool. These lines create a burr that holds ink, meaning that the print reveals the drawing. Intaglio printmaking is the opposite of relief printmaking as it is the positive marks that are printed rather than the areas that are left behind. The plate is put through a printing press with damp paper. This leaves a beautiful embossed image. To view a short video showing some of the technique used to create this print, click here.
