Grandpa's Farm.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This is an image of my the farm my grandfather grew up on, done as an etching.
I stood out in the cold autumn air and held a small zinc plate coated with wax, drawing into the wax with a stylus. I had to draw the scene backwards from what I was seeing so that it would show up correctly when printed.
The "trees" in the background were created by layering cheesecloth and pressing it into the wax. The woven pattern of the loose cloth creates an interesting texture, as do the slight variations from the etching process.
