WORK IN PROGRESS, Yosemite print
The 12th etch is 16 minutes. Now the plate has been etched 64 to 68 minutes.
The 11th etch is 16 minutes. Now the plate has been etched 48 to about 52 minutes.
The 13th etch is 64 minutes, for a total of 128 to 132 minutes. This is the final etch on this aquatint.
The plate is cleaned and then the first proof is printed from the new plate.
Now the plate for the new print,
Clouds Rest and Half Dome
, is ready to be editioned.
I decide to do a second aquatint and then a 6 minute to 20 minute creep etch to darken the closest trees.
