Step One- sharpie stop-out the fox, painted lined, and some of the lightest areas in the road.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829627486-8PAHLEU87G9NDAU5XS1J/FoxRd4.jpg Blog - Fox Road - Salt Ground The second step, not listed here was a coarse aquatint of larger rosin grains and some smaller pieces. The third step (above) was a salt ground using regular table salt and dissolving the grains in hot water to get an irregular "pavement" pattern. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829628493-SRT8PKS3RD2YO7GIGEM1/FoxRd5.JPG Blog - Fox Road - Close-Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829628962-LUNUXK3LJOUYEZHUEVGS/FoxRd6.JPG Blog - Fox Road - Aquatint Here is one of the "spray" aquatints to create the values of the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829630359-RYE5D8BD844X9PKG7FR7/FoxRd8.jpg Blog - Fox Road - Cleaning The Plate In the process of cleaning the plate.

Here is the first proof-in-progressof just the fox. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829631506-66PL4EUB0RHCE6Z73ZEQ/FoxRd9.jpg Blog - Fox Road - Union In this image you'll see I drastically change the color of the fox, mostly for alignment purposes to make sure things matched well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829632322-D1LAA03FYP7JDDTQ2UW9/FoxRd10.JPG Blog - Fox Road https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829633511-MZD6HWQ2EGKD3R4ENCNG/FoxRd12.JPG Blog - Fox Road https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829635338-2T9SRKYFK98N6U41SNGQ/FoxRd13.JPG Blog - Fox Road - Final Image Final color and wipe.

You’ll notice the sharpie “stop out” is underneath the spray aquatint to avoid my hand disturbing the aquatint coverage during this first etch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829491092-UUG2HNRXX09JE5H25D3C/RiverPig2.jpg Blog - River Pig - Stages This aquatint was etched in four steps to create different values of gray. A few are shown in the image (above) and can be recognized by the different hues of the sharpie and the stop out pigment being used around the pig. When they get dropped into the acid bath they tend to change color a bit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829492214-NIG32TVRK2PD5458AQ2D/RiverPig3.JPG Blog - River Pig - Aquatint Here is another go at a spray aquatint to fix some prior issues with the previous aquatint. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829492286-JNQO815RLW8LFM6QBY1J/RiverPig4.JPG Blog - River Pig - Inking the Plate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829493178-RR823B12W69ZPCYXGWSX/RiverPig5.jpg Blog - River Pig - Wiping the Plate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1455829493335-F1VHG29XAKDXU88HMKZ4/RiverPig6.JPG Blog - River Pig - Final Proof http://www.josephgerges.com/process/2016/2/8/slain monthly 0.5 2016-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1454995388374-P5CIB1A2MCY070UTV3V9/Slain1.JPG Blog - Slain - The Lay-in Stage I like to lay-in my drawings with a light value using a hard charcoal (HB) or Cretacolor Nero pencil. After the first pass, I'll create some charcoal dust from a compressed charcoal stick and use a chamois or soft paper towel to do a "wash" of charcoal over the whole image. Once the wash is laid in, I start the erasing process and erase out all my lights. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/569523550e4c11c98e31cc5d/1454995389009-7OELYUZFRDLJ9396HUL4/Slain2.JPG Blog - Slain - Adding Value This image shows the build up of value. With the rabbit, I wanted to focus on the largest area of contrast and build up from there.
