Artist Proof

 

We received a lovely gift for Christmas this year

 from our "middle" daughter. 

An original etching from Laura- the art teacher.

So I am learning about the terms.

 Etching- "An art etching is a printmaking technique where an image is "etched" into a metal plate using acid, creating grooves that hold ink which is then transferred onto paper when pressed, resulting in a printed artwork with the etched design; essentially, it's a method of creating prints by chemically "carving" a design into a metal plate."

OK, that sounds complicated and time consuming. 

So my delight in the gift of this project just went up a bit.

Then another term- Artist Proof.

"An artist's proof (AP) is a print that an artist makes to assess the quality of a print, or to make final adjustments before producing a limited edition."

OK, now that little AP at the bottom is kinda wow.

Laura said it was an intensive process 

and she learned ALOT.

A simple design- a beautiful gift.

Think this needs a frame.
