Work in Progress: Seneca Rocks State 2

As you can see, I did a little scraping and burnishing on the mountain and some of the tree foliage. More to do and some aquatinting to darken some of the areas as well.

Work in Progress: Seneca Rocks State 1

Here's my new photo transfer etching in my regional landscape series "Seneca Rocks". This is the first state, just one etch so far. I actually etched a previous plate with this image, but didn't like the way it came out, so I started again. I'll open bite and sand down that plate and reuse it for a different image. Anyway there will be some scraping and burnishing and maybe some additional aquatinting to do on this plate, although it looks to me as though it may come together fairly rapidly. Don't know when I'll get into the print studio though, may not be till after the holidays.

Work in Progress: Ohiopyle Falls State 4

I worked on this plate a bit last night, and did some scraping and burnishing on the falls, rocks, water and background, but it is going to need some more, and maybe some more aquatint in some areas. I like parts of the image, but not all of it yet. Also, I think I overwiped the previous version and it printed too light.
