My etching aquatint print of Underbank Hall was sold at the recent preview of Stockport Art Guild 96th Exhibition.
Price: £95.00
Size: 12″ x 9″
I am thrilled that two of my recent etchings are in the 96th Stockport Art Guild exhibition at Stockport War Memorial and Art Gallery which is on from 3rd December 2016 to 7th January 2017.
Here are my latest etching aquatint prints which have a night theme. The first print is of the 16th century Underbank Hall which is now a bank and the second print depicts Stockport Plaza, a 1930s cinema and variety theatre in the centre of Stockport.


I am currently making a number of changes to this website blog which include;
Consolidating my old website and moving elements of it to this blog and also changing the look of the blog.
Today, I added the final colour to my church print. I started by created a small print block from an off cut of Lino and cut away to get the shape of a cross to represent the St. George flag. I then used some oil based red printing ink and added some oil to soften the ink. Using a small roller, I gently applied the ink to the block. I then placed the block on top of each print and applied pressure using a barren with about 15 passes of the barren. Below is a photo of the finished relief print. I have learnt a lot by producing this Lino print and hope to produce more prints and improve my technique.
Here are two new print subjects I will be adding to the project.
Apart from working on my relief print today of the church, I have started a new etching entitled “Lowry in Stockport” which is inspired by a photo taken of Lowry sketching the viaduct in the early 1960s.
Here is a proof print I produced this afternoon Showing the initial line created from a drawing.
