I started working on a new mezzotint. I'm going experimental with this one, and when it's finished I plan to print it in two colors inked simultaneously. We'll see if it works 🤞

Looks exciting! Do you use a rocker (looks like it?) or do you buy ready burred plates?

Thanks! Yes I use a rocker to prepare my plates manually. By the way this one is the first where I didn't roughen the whole surface, just the drawn part, so it was really quick. But I don't find the rocking process painful in any case.
That said, I should try some ready burred plates once, out of curiosity.
