About this lesson
A working artist's 16-step process post on soft-ground etching with the non-toxic Baldwin Intaglio Ground, covering thin ground application, pressing leaves and fabric through 230-mesh screen fabric, heat-curing, and etching in ferric chloride, with candid notes on the trial and error required to avoid foul biting.
