The original is an etching made on copper plate using a variety of techniques. I used wax resist into which the work was drawn with a needle, aquatint, mezzotint. and some dry point work. The plate was then inked and carefully wiped clean making sure to leave lots of ink in the area of the ship otherwise it will print too light.
It is then hand pulled on an etching press.
The original prints are a limited edition of 100
The idea and detail sketches where made at Newcastle harbor Australia, from this an etching and print where made.
An original print is available from my site www.artbymariodonk.com/fine_art_originals.html
