Hey people!

At school we've been experimenting with this printing technique called "etching" (acquaforte in italian) where you basically corrode a zinc sheet with nitric acid.

I don't want to go in depht with all the steps, but you'll see them in my work :)

The black stuff Is a varnish that coats the surface and cannot be eroded by acid

Finished mould

And the final work! You archieve bold lines and deep blacks. I made the background with alcohol markers and colored pencils.
