Screen printer
James Bywood came to
Cascada Studio for a week of aquatint etching. Being used to producing screen prints, the sometimes tricky concept of thinking in negative, came natural to James, and he took to aquatint etching like a screenprinter to a squeege :o) During his stay, in the hottest week we have had all summer, James still managed to produce 2 fine aquatint etchings, with a sure hand creating both subtle and intriguing images. As the instructor at Cascada Studio, it is great fun to have someone so curious and quick to pick up as James is.... a pleasure to work with, you are so Welcome back, James!

Ooooo, so lovely and subtle! I really love the first print - such a fab. contrast between the fine, deep blue of the telegraph poles & wires, with the birds, against ths soft, drifting clouds. The purple and blue work very well in the second print and James has caught such a sense of huge skies and open space. He definitely should make more aquatints!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had fun too, Mariann.
Love those birds on the wire ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, lovely prints...... and I agree, James should do more aquatints....
