Butterflies

Monarch Butterfly and Painting Lady

The etchings are Aquatint, Aquaforte and sugar lift, on copperplates, printed on Rives BFK heavyweight acid free Cotton paper. After I handcolored the plate and printed it on paper I enriched the flower with iridescent watercolor. This color includes mica and will give the etching a golden shimmer when exposed to sunlight or a spot light. This effect is not visible online... only if you see them in original.
