Matilda 2005

We were at the beach. I had my Mini Halfwood Press, a laptop, and digital camera. I drew a portrait of Matilda, our granddaughter, then 8 years old. She was drawing my portrait, and I snapped an image of her, loaded it on my laptop, and then scratched the drypoint lines on a copper plate. She moved naturally, and I used the digital image to keep the original pose and her expression in place.
