Stephen Scott Young: Etchings

  Biography   Paintings  

“Etching is much more tedious, and thus a more rewarding experience than painting. Both a science and an art, in its simplest form, it is to make a line. Nevertheless, that is only the beginning of a long and wondrous journey into the mind of an artist and a scientist. With a paintbrush, the painter can cover large areas in rapid time, and covers his errors with a minimum of effort. However, the etcher must move along at a snail’s pace in comparison. It is making one line at a time, allowing them to cross and weave together to form an image in his mind, that he is only able to see until hours, sometimes weeks later. It is a long and arduous process, to etch, and only those with particular temperaments will be allowed to enter its wondrous domain.” -Artist, Stephen Scott Young
