New Year - New Work

 It's been a steady start to work since the New Year, with this mezzotint plate on the work bench. The bones of the design are roughed out but need more refining before taking a first impression. Another couple of days or so and we should be nearly there.

This sketch of a woodland track near my home drawn early last spring is the basis for the print. I've scanned it in to the computer, reversed it and printed it out below. This gives me an image to transfer to the copper plate.

Not the easiest object to photograph but the images below give an idea of the progress so far.
