Above: Results of a Non toxic Soft Ground etch... ground  made with 2 parts water based relief printing ink and 1part clear based floor polish & liquitex pouring medium mix. Interesting background created in the pressing through the press of textures into the soft ground. (It was not quite dry so it lifted a little) Inked up with several colours, it could produce an interesting print.

I just found you. A life of field sketching and figurative drawing, sitting and waiting. Next I want to make prints from some my sketches. I need to assemble the materials and space. So happy to have found your work and helpful site.
