Fine Art Printmaking & Collage

Half Done Reverse

Karen Baden Thapa

This was one of the first etchings I ever made. I worked off a photo from a recent visit to Yosemite and I was pleased with the proofs I was pulling. I was getting ready to make a small edition when another printmaker in the studio pointed out that it was backwards. Oops. Etching rule number one is to remember that whatever you draw or write will print in the reverse. Now I keep a copy of this print near my work space as a reminder.
