“Frini” drypoint etching by Caroline Foxton

Walking around the local countryside near my home is where I find inspiration drawing on my observations of hares and other animals, and birds to create my prints.

 If I’m lucky I take a quick snapshot with my phone, otherwise I try to hold an image in my head later scribbling down a quick sketch. If needs be I work from there doing more research on the subject resulting in the final detailed drawing.

 I like to experiment with various printmaking techniques lino cut, aquatint, etching, drypoint occasionally hand colouring a finished print. 

 My particular favourite is drypoint. It’s a technique that allows me to be spontaneous with my drawing method by simply scratching into the surface of a Perspex or zinc plate in a very naturalistic way.
