Sleeping

Sleeping

Drypoint Intaglio

Animal companions are the best!  They give so much and my dog, Bosch, is a delight.  And to see them relaxed and resting tells you they are happy and content.

This image came about from a project I worked on with Sam Marshall writing a book about sketching.  Sketching however, whatever, whenever, wherever and taking a few minutes to engage in the process without an end goal.  “Sleeping” is my response to drawing everyday objects around the house and the prompt “Something to Stroke”.

This print is created by etching the design into a substrate plate.   Ink is then pushed into the etched grooves, the surface of the plate wiped clean so it is ready to lift a print off onto damp paper and voila! It is printed. 

As usual, each print lifted is independently inked and wiped each finished version will have natural differences as it is a hands on, one at a time process.
