After an intense and frustrating struggle with the aquatint I think I have finally got this three plate etching how I want it.
Now to start editioning and to think of a suitable title.

I have just come back from a wonderfully hectic trip to California. I managed to squeeze in a few sketches which are here. #California #yosemite #sketchbook #drawing

I recently had a wonderful week in Cornwall with some artist friends and we went drawing every day. Here are my sketchbook pages collaged together. #drawing #sketchbook #moleskine

Just filled up my teensy-weensy pocket paintbox with #WinsorandNewton watercolours ready for my travels. It comes with a magnetic clip to attach it to my sketchbook & a little water pot. I’ll take my trusty daVinci travel brushes. Can’t wait!
