Techniques and topics
Size Direct The metal - usually copper - is attacked directly by a cutting tool: drypoint, roulette, chisel.
Taille indirecte: Le métal est mordu par l'acide.
- Etching: the varnish of the plate is removed with a dry point and the metal is exposed bitten by the acid.
- Aquatint: plate of zinc or copper is covered with powdered rosin resin, acid will attack the metal as around it.
- Different types of aquatint : instead of pine resin, you can use salt or sugar that in dilute acid, placing the plate exposed.
- Aquatint sugar: the drawing is done directly on the metal plate with a brush, with ink mixed with sugar and it is covered by a varnish intaglio. This technique is similar to that of painting.
- the soft ground: This process produces prints of different textures (fabrics, flowers, with invoice support, etc..) on the metal plate.
- carborundum etching
Specificity of the workshop
- Impresion color
It can operate in an original way,
The impression left the field of reproductive
become an act of creation itself. Thanks to the various
printing techniques, it is possible to obtain
different prints and use the plate
in an optimal way.
