Proofs from my current intaglio print. It’s a two plate/two color deal, and it’ll be the first multiple color intaglio image I make. Nerve wracking, but I’m glad I’m giving it more thought. For the key image with the actual map, I’m in the process of burnishing the dark aquatint. I think it’ll give it the softness that I’m looking for. Thinking about doing a light aquatint in some areas of the land. Not sure if that’ll be too overwhelming with the texture layered over it. I’ll probably work on the burnishing, print a proof with both actually layered and go from there.
