A comparison of the plate before and after inking. The first artist's proof.

You can get a nice gradation of tone (as in an atmospheric effect) by the way you wipe the plate....less ink wiped off will result in a darker tone.

At times I will wipe a small area with a cotton swab or my fingertip for highlights.


First Artist's proof

This is the first artist's proof printed on paper using burnt umber colored ink, notice how the image is reversed after printing.
