My name is Andrew Basler and I used to be one of Joel's students back in the mid to late 50's. I'm sure Joel remembers me... ask him about how for one summer I made is yard flourish with plush green grass.
I am looking through a handful of these blogs of his current students and providing a little feedback. Looks like you are getting the hang of aquatint and how to produce the different levels of value desired. Don't be afraid to attack your aquatints with your scraper or burnisher to really blend the shading or to dramatically highlight your lights.
Cappucino,

Well, let that old Bastard Joel know I said hi.
Stunning print. love the figuration of the birds... how they sort of get lost into one another to make a new form. Great control of your aquatint too.
