The acid plate etching process incudes cutting a metal plate to the size of the required image. The plate is then covered in a coat of wax which is left to set. The image is then etching into the wax using a sharp instrument using different depths and strokes to create different textures. The wax coated plate is then submerged in acid for a precise amount of time so that the acid burns into the plate where the wax has been scraped to form the image on the plate. The plate may be dipped in the acid multiple times for different durations to obtain the precise depth and texture required. The plate is then cleaned removing all the acid and remaining wax then carefully covered with ink before being placed on paper that has been soaking for some time and rolled through a printing press to produce the final print. The print is then pressed to absorb remaining moisture

I love my blue whippet Betsy (who is really grey despite being called a 'Blue Whippet') and I love to capture he postures and expressions. I love this type of expression when she sees or hears something in the distance such as a rabbit, squirrel or another dog perhaps. She points her ears in the direction of the sound as she stands to attention deciding what her next move should be and whether she is likely to get away with it! Whippets can have a very similar look to greyhounds albeit a little smaller and my prints inspired by my whippet prove very popular with greyhound lovers also.
