Did a sketch of this image a while back (right image). Yesterday I printed a lithograph (left image) of a modified version in sepia. This is a good example of why you shouldn't try to redraw some images on the stone. It rolled up too dark after the second etch and I tried some things to fix it. Fed up with the outcome and in a "knee jerk" reaction I took the stone outside and grained off the image so that I wouldn't be tempted to print it and waste 35 sheets of arches.
