Drypoint etching by Caroline Salmon - Out with the tide in blue -3 plates Ed of 15

Out with the tide - 3 plates printed together in blue. Edition of 15

This drypoint was inspired fly the fishing boats at Hastings and consists of 3 separate plates. 

Drypoint prints are created by drawing & scratching with a pointed metal implement, on a metal plate which was then inked, so that ink remains in the crevices and allowing the untouched area  to be wiped clean by a smooth cloth. The plate is then put face down on damped paper, and run through a press under considerable pressure, making an indent impression on the paper in the same way that an etching would. Drypoint plates flatten when printed, so plates created that way  only ever get used for short runs.

Printed Plate area  is 8.5cm tall x 22cm cross and is printed on cream paper.

These prints have hand torn edges and come wrapped in cellophane.The plate is also available in soft brown and grey on cream on this site.
