Dry point etching, aquatint, steel plate

h: 31 w: 25 d: 1 (cms).

MORRIS captures the vintage look of the all-time classic vehicle that it is. The aquatint, executed with a non-toxic acrylic technique, aims to capture the charm of the subject and gives the car its own character. I used the back of a used plate that was already on the scrap pile to show that it still holds value — much like the classic Mini itself. First, a drypoint etching established the rough outlines for the later-added aquatint. I used the Lascaux acrylic system, applying the grain via airbrush. This gave me the opportunity to experiment with the vintage look on the plate.
