A2 Coursework - Etching

Because I enjoyed the prospect of including portraits into my work, I decided to include an etching into my collection. From my previous piece, I enjoyed the idea of the person having food in their hands and close to their face because it meant that the one image included not only food, but the expression if the face, the creases and wrinkles in the hand and all of the textures within the food. I thought all of this added to the dimension of the image and this is what persuaded me to do an etching instead of just a painting.
