The delicate rendering of the drypoint etching imparts a thoughtful expression to this portrait of Bill Wyman. Ronnie has captured the former band member in a contemplative moment while playing his bass guitar. Though no longer with the Stones, they played together for nearly twenty years, and Bill has been painted several times by Ronnie.
A drypoint etching is made by first scratching a design into a metal plate (such as copper) with a sharp stylus or needle. The plate is then inked and pressed onto paper to create the final artwork.
The Rolling Stones Suite I:
Ronnie Wood created this set of drypoint etchings very early in his career as an artist. His passion for print-making fueled a great variety of media and formats in the late-1980s. This suite is comprised of five portraits, one of each of the Rolling Stones lineup at the time including Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, and himself.
