Description
Aaand that's deviation number 200!Line etching and aquatint. It almost killed my eyes. I'm extremely happy it turned well on the first try.
Edit:
Thank you for the DD and for the lovely comments!
There are too many faves to thank individually, so I'll simply thank you all here:
Thank you!

I always love it when prints turn out well on the first try.
Shame it doesn't always happen.

Well, maybe that makes one appreciate the successful attempts even more. . .

I love the look of etchings, and aquatinta especially, SO much! The birch tree, and the falling snow...beautiful! I really wish I had a printing press!
DA won't let me fav things at this moment for some reason, but I'd very much fav this if I could ^.^

Thank you very much! I wish too, I've seen that small tablemount ones needn't be extremely expensive, here at my uni there's great printing workshops, but I hope that I could even afford a small one in the future.
And no worries about the fav, I still prefer comments

I think my Dad would like to try out printing, so maybe I can talk him into getting a press, haha

Yeah, definitely try to convince him. Hope you'll succeed in that, and find a reasonably priced press somewhere! (:

Great use of aquatint, I've never seen this much depth in one!!

Thank you! I'm quite satisfied with the result too, it was not easy to achieve (:

Gorgeous! The variation in texture, and color is amazing, as is the use of perspective. The trees are aspens, right? Eh, maybe I'm wrong about the type of tree, but they're great. I love the arch that they form. It looks like something from a cathedral.
I have no idea what aquatint is, or what kind of pain it causes, but I'd say that the effort was well worth it.

Thank you very much! The frontmost white tree is a birch, I don't really know about the others. . . (:
Aquatint is a form of etching, through which you can give whole surfaces a tone instead of using just lines.

Yeah, I guess you wouldn't want to meet it in the forest after nightfall. . .

Incredible scene and completely deserving of the DD.
Reminds me a bit of a Patronus Charm for some reason...

Mm, I guess it's the colour, and it looks like a stag. . (:
Thank you!
