Drypoint Landscape

I watched with envy while Linda's been printmaking lately and so when she invited me over to use the press in her studio I was there like a shot. I made a drypoint plate on plastic of a landscape image similar to some that I've been monoprinting.

Here I'm part way through polishing off the excess ink from the plate.

And taking a print.

We just printed off a few. It's been ages since I used this method so it took a couple of prints to get a feel for how much to wipe when inking. Love this technique!
