Method
The etching tool is a fine pointed steel instrument. Having a background in painting or sketching is helpful.
Select a design first. Cut the
Aluminium sheet
according to the size of the design. Now paint
the Aluminium sheet with black enamel paint. Leave it to dry completely.
Trace the design on the Aluminium sheet using the white carbon sheet. Next
using the etching tool, scrape off the paint. Do not scrape off the paint
completely. Make long-short scratches on the black aluminium sheet in the direction of flow of the figure. The
entire design should be scratched out.
Now your work is complete . Hope you enjoy this unique piece of art.
