30 minute etch

I started the session by drawing with a #3 Korn's Lithograpic lead, onto a copper plate prepared with red BIG ground, with the ultimate aim of making an etching -- having taken the etching workshop at Argos the previous weekend.
It was freezing in Santa Fe, so the copper plate was cold. The litho pencil did not go on easily, though as the plate warmed up (or maybe it was me that warmed up), it was easier to draw on the BIG ground.

The Korn's lead is water soluble,
so it washes off easily

I printed the proof at Remarque Print Workshop
in Albuquerque
I also did a drawing at that session
