This etching gallery covers a wide range of themes and techniques, you may also find it convenient to view one of the theme based galleries accessed from the main gallery index page.
The 'Palm Cockatoo' captures some of the dramatic beauty of this endangered species, using open bite, aquatint and etching technique on this striking etching finished witha gold leaf highlight.
The 'Forest light' series of miniature forest scenes are offered as a vertical sequence, or individually, in both mono colour or hand coloured, with a glimpse of golden light through the trees.
