Away from the Sea Original Framed Etching
Dimensions of Away from the Sea: 27 1/2” x 21 1/2”.
This is the original framed drypoint etching Away from the Sea.
Drypoint is considered an etching process that does not use acid. Instead, the zinc or copper plate is physically carved away and manipulated. These grooves are then filled with ink and printed. Drypoint is distinguished from engraving by the distinct misty line achieved by the burr, the edge of metal thrown up on the edge of engraved lines that is left behind rather than polished away.
Etching is a printmaking process in which a zinc or copper plate is incised using acid to produce grooves that make an image. Ink is then wiped onto the plate, and then polished off, leaving ink trapped in the grooved marks only. The plate is then run with damp paper through a printing press to produce a print. Original prints are limited by the breakdown of the plate, and are considered original works of art.
All artwork has been framed by a professional MFA woodworker with high quality 1.5” light maple with non-glare plexiglass. All frames come wired and ready to hang.

You will be charged between $5-$30* for shipping upon the purchase of your drawing or print. This is a charge to cover materials for shipment, and the rest of the shipping cost is included in the cost of the piece. You will not be invoiced for shipping cost after your purchase. All originals are packed with the utmost care and safety precautions. I wrap each original in paper, then tape around protective foam core or cardboard on either side of the wrapped painting to protect it from anything around it. I then wrap the entire piece with bubble wrap, and place it in an art-sized box filled with plenty more bubble wrap to allow no shaking during shipment. Any original painting over $250 has shipping insurance purchased on it by me, in the event that it is damaged by the postage system. This method has proven itself very safe and effective!
