Dan Welden workshop, first piece

This is one of the first pieces I made in my solarplate etching class with Dan Welden. He created this "green" process, which is based on the principles of lithography, but uses only water, not acids.

The rock is from our garden, the stick was hanging around at the park one day when Sanjagirl and I were running the trails.

The blacks are like velvet, one of the advantages of this printmaking process. More to follow...
