Soap Ground Etching

Painterly Prints vol. 2 - A How-To Guide

The second technique in our Painterly Prints series is the use of soap ground, a semi-permeable resist that gradually breaks down when exposed to acid. This allows for achieving various tones in a single etching. Soap ground is compatible with any metal suitable for etching, making it a versatile option.
