Aquatint Etching

Since he received his BFA from UCSC in 1975, he has focused on creating aquatint etchings of wilderness landscapes, drawn freehand from photographs he has taken.

Stephen McMillan's aquatint etchings cause my attention instantly as I was scrolling through a large amount of aquatint etching images. The amount of detail I saw was unbelievable and I was unaware that such detail could be created using a process like aquatint etching. I aim to remember his work as influence for the future if I ever decide to create a detailed and textured image with different media and methods.
