Description
Etching with Aquatint and colored pencils.**edit**
Final version is 9x12 inches . It is already matted and framed (w/frame it is 15x19 inches). 450$ (not really ready to part with it >.> haha)
(t/p)test prints (which means they are close to the final version...but not quite. Some of them have colored pencil testing or none at all. Some experimenting with amount I wiped off or mixing of colors.) but I am willing to sell those for less. Not matted or framed.
85$+ or - (still need to take pictures of those. Might take a bit)
PM with inquires or at mpagluica@hotmail.com. Please subject email "DA - PRINT"

Thank you. I remember going through several stages (I want to say around 20) of using aquatint. Laborious, but oh so enjoyable.

I love all the detail in this and the fact it's an etching o_o for me at least etchings were the hardest thing I had to do in my art courses. Great job.

This was a fun piece to do, etchings are very tedious but rewarding. I know I probably dipped this piece more then 25 times just to get the acquatint right.

Yeah that was why I was never good at etchings. Well it paid off it's really so amazing and I just love how you blended all the details like the tea and roses into it.

Nicely done. Used one copper plate only? Is the color on her hair done with a pencil, or did you print with that color?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! Only one copper plate was used with many levels of aquatinting. Anything that has a bluish or reddish hue is colored pencil.

Very nice, especially the details, the gentle smoke rising from the cup of tea and the flowers; all are quite eye-catching.

Beautiful style, so delicate. I adore the way you've used colour, the subtle hints of blues and greens in amongst the grays really bring the piece to life. The flow of it was what really caught my eye in the thumbnail though, I'm a sucker for this kind of gentle ebbing artwork. Gorgeous.

I love the cold colors and style, it's a very pretty piece.

The tone you used for the hair is lovley- it's black enough to be identified as black, but all the ripples of whatever the proper name is for that tone of brown, particurally the bottom part between the sets of roses.

Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! Never seen anything like this before. I love it.
I'm inlove with her hair, and I like how you can see a tiny bit of her tongue sticking out of her mouth.

Oh I really love your style and your gallery is very interesting. I like the fact, that you've got to look twice, to find all details in your artwork. Well done!

Are you thinking of selling any of the original prints?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes. This is a one of a kind..there are some Test prints but they didn't turn out like this final one. So this technically is a print of 1/1. I edited above comment for pricing.

The monochrome and the hair are very interesting...I like this piece quite a lot.

beautiful work...likes how the ink looks ithe sort of stained look in the background adds a lot to the image

The shades are so beautiful! I love all the variations you've managed to get and that very slight tint of color by pencils on the roses makes it look so amazingly delicate? Somehow I could never manage to get so many variations in aquatint as you have.
I love how the pretty and delicate lines of her hair strands turn into the rose stems.

Oh my gosh, you've raided my brain! haha, kidding, this is fantastic... Just the other day I was trying to come up with something like this... A woman's profile, a cup of tea with steam rising, the long floaty hair, all centered around the color grey... Instead it turned into this: [link]

Ohhh..I like how her hair becomes the steam from the bowl.
