ART FOR THE COLLECTOR
The Bus is the old Routemaster which we all loved so well. The image size is 2.5 x 3".
My etchings are handmade on acid free Somerset paper with all the inks being lightfast and sometimes I add watercolour.
All my etchings are on copper and are in an edition of 200 and are strictly numbered and signed by myself.
The plate size for this etching is 2.5 x 3” and I mount them in an off-white mount with the overall size being 8.5 x 7” and they are ready for framing or as a rather unique present.
All my etchings are produced by hand in my Beaconsfield Studio and come with a leaflet explaining how they are produced, as etching is an ancient craft and has its own unmistakable look.

ETCHINGS
Etchings are formed by the artist drawing onto a prepared plate which is then immersed in acid. Ink is applied to the plate and then wiped off it remains in the grooves and cavities. Under pressure in a press, the ink is transferred to a dampened paper, which also receives the "plate mark" common to all intaglio printse formed by the artist drawing onto a prepared plate which is then immersed in acid. Ink is applied to the plate and then wiped off it remains in the grooves and cavities.
