Start of a new painting using acrylic

Aquatint experiment

This was my first time using aquatint and it has opened allot of possibilities for me. Especially working on new materials like copper where I was using plastic before in the past. It is much smoother to use copper and there is less resistance. The perspex plastic though is quite good also.
