Soft-ground etching is a process in printmaking where a soft material like wax is applied on top of a metal plate. When the artist draws with a pencil or crayon on top of it, the material picks up the lines, textures and tones, leaving an impression that resembles a crayon or pencil drawing. During the etching process, the soft-ground is removed, leaving only the drawn image etched into the plate.
