I am painting directly on antique engravings. Thanks for the compliment to my painting skill. The real beauty is that of the original botanical artist who drew the plant and then arranged (what could have been a jumble of leaves, swirling stems, roots, blooms, chunk of turf, etc) all so beautifully on the page! Gee and what about the engraver? I took one semester of printmaking many years ago in college. SO much physical work!! I imagine back then botanical artist was also engraver?
