Tip of the Week
Considered an original graphic, they are produced as multiples. The artist draws on the surface of a copper or zinc plate, which is coated with an acid-resistant varnish, or "ground" using a sharp tool (burin), scribing into the ground and removing the varnish where the lines will appear. The plate is dipped in acid, which exposes or "bites" the soft, exposed metal, creating grooves or sunken channels, which will hold the ink. Ink is rolled onto the plate and fills the grooves. The surface is wiped clean and the inked plate is pressed into moist paper, which releases the ink creating the image in monotone. Sometimes the artist will return to the monotone print and add watercolors to each individual example, making it unique from all others. In most cases, the plate is then defaced or destroyed preventing the creation of any additional prints. For additional printmaking terms go to ARTinaClick.com
