An atmospheric and misty lake scene, with two swans gliding serenely towards the foreground. Soft blacks and reds have been subtly applied to two etched plates (one for each colour), to create this unique monoprint etching. This etching has been created using separate plates in order to allow for the layering of two different colours. Each etched plate is individually inked for each print. This method of etching creates a 'mono print', as each print varies according to the application and colours of the inks. For the first etching plate, I have used zinc, aquatint (melting resin dust onto the plate with a flame, to allow the ink to 'grip'), acid and burnishing. The second plate is made of steel. This has been 'textured' by washing acid directly onto and across the plate, to create the central (red), area of the image. The professional etching ink is smeared onto the plates and selectively removed. The ink 'sits' within the small pits created by the acid. The image is created by placing the inked plate onto the bed of an etching press, with a sheet of 'Somerset' heavy weight, white paper, on top. The press is then 'hand wound', pressing the plate and paper together, transferring the image onto the paper. Image/plate size 34.3 x 17 cm Paper size 53 x 38 cm This print is signed, dated and titled, and a signed Certificate of Authenticity is included. This Artwork will be sent to you wrapped in tissue paper, in a sturdy cardboard tube.

Lizzie Butler is an expressive, semi abstract artist, who works in a contemporary style in oil. Her strong spatial awareness and a passion for working en plein air, inform her practice and lead to paintings that recreate the intangible atmosphere found in landscapes and the peaceful silence of nature. Most of her paintings are begun outside and completed in her London studio. Although working primarily in oil, Lizzie also enjoys the physicality of exploring etching with zinc and steel plates, to create intaglio prints. Lizzie Butler's artwork has been exhibited at Leighton House Museum, Kensington, London, The Russell Gallery, London, and several other Galleries. Lizzie's paintings can be found in collections in America, New Zealand, the UK and across Europe, with several customers returning to buy further paintings and place commissions. March 2019 - Two pieces shortlisted for the Royal Academy of Arts summer exhibition.
