Another drypoint etching from college from 2014. I did add a light wash of watercolour to it as the lines were not going to bleed being oil based printing ink.
This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?
Impressive birds - impressive etching!!!
