I have been etching Autograph tree leaves for some time now and have watched as my process has evolved from brown leaves to brightly colored.
Currently I have been exploring the use of modeling paste, glue and gold leafing,as well as adding acrylic paint to my pallet of pens and markers.
Here are a few examples of what has been surfacing in my work. See my latest editions towards the bottom of my gallery.
These were created by first applying glue to the leaf.
