Aquatint etching on the copper plates 

Aquatint Akitas 2020

Aquatint etching on the copper plates. 5 different akita dogs.

Plate size 20 cm x 14 cm. 

Akitas name’s: Acri 1/3, Lola 3/4, Frank 2/3, Polka 4/4 and Rigel 1/3. 

(1/3 and 3/4 meand that how many prints I have made and which one is the first and third print.)

I wanted to make a printmaking series with akita dogs. I made lot of sketches of the akitas with suits on them. Then I chose the best ones and made aquatint etchings. (Not real akitas or names, I just come up with these names.)

One picture from the sketch to ready print took me about 5 hours to make. Aquatint technique is really complicated process but the final result is really enjoyable. (I made black, dark green and violet prints.)
