Seated male nude clasping foot. Print - Limited Edition of 1

"Seated male nude clasping foot " is an etching using the traditional method of hard wax ground. An etching needle is used to draw into the prepared plate. I think this is the most exciting way to draw as each mark is final. A good quality final image depends on the sensitivity of hand pressure applied to the etching needle, the drawing skills and preparation of the plate. I use Somerset paper which is acid-free and will not yellow with age. My male nude etchings start with selecting one of my original drawings. I begin by drawing free-hand onto the prepared plate and focus on making strong, continuous lines. This free-style drawing method is an inhibiting experience due to fear of making the wrong mark, the required skill in correcting unwanted marks along with expensive materials . I chose this model for my etchings as he is tall and lean, yet muscular. Life -drawing onto surfaces such as etching plates allows me to practise drawing and give me great pleasure due to my interest in the human body.
