February 16, 2007, Newsletter Issue #185: Mezzotint

Tip of the Week

A method of engraving in which the artist works from dark to light. The whole plate is first covered with a fine, regular dot pattern made by using a rocking tool called a cradle. This patter holds the ink and prints as a black background. The image is created by burnishing (smoothing) the dot pattern. The smooth surface does not take the ink and therefore appears in the white.
