ORIGINAL ETCHINGS

ANDREA WILSON - ARTIST

ORIGINAL ETCHINGS

Each etching is classified as an original. My etchings are produced from a traditional, centuries old technique using a copper plate. I "needle" my drawing into the copper plate then etch it in a corrosive bath to bite in the lines. Sometimes I also use drypoint technique to needle the plate, after the etching process. When ready to print, I ink the plate and hand-pull each print. I also hand-tint some of the etchings with watercolor or gild some areas with 22Kt gold to produce a very special print. All products used in the etching print are archival--paper and framing.
