[Image Descriptions: A sheet of copper plate that is being used for a mezzotint. It has been heavily rocked on, creating lots of little etchings that makes the copper almost look like a velvet fabric. There are several burnished marks on the plate creating large thick puddle shapes similar to oil spills. The negative space between the puddles creates a tree branch pattern.
Image One has the copper plate uncovered, showing sharp highlights on the puddles. Image Two has a thin plastic film on top of it, making it easier to see where the actual highlights have been burnished into the plate. /End descriptions.]
Currently doing a mezzotint workshop! Probably not the greatest of ideas, considering I have only done printmaking a grand total of once beforehand. But while this medium is notoriously tricky, I've been having fun learning it!
This is probably the only mezzotint I'll ever make in my life lol. I am absolutely not printmaker material
