Etching Project

This is a intaglio print. An intaglio print, such as an engraving or etching, where the areas are blank, and the carvings are black. The plate is carved with a design, and ink is applied to fill in the gaps. After the ink is applied it is then wiped away with newspaper to create a blank surface. Much greater pressure is needed to force the paper into the channels containing ink, and a high pressure press will normally be required. After my print was dry i painted it using watercolour.
