I have just had a creative weekend teaching a really talented group non toxic etching.
Using copper sulphate and gum arabic resist the group of six artists made sets of experimental etchings on aluminum plate.
After inking the first prints in the usual intaglio way.
I let the group explore viscosity inking.
These rich colours are printed by pushing one colour into the etched line,
then rolling two different viscosity's of ink in different colours across the plate.
Exciting flashes of colour are achieved.
Try the technique on collagraph plates, the effect is even more dramatic.
I had a great weekend, it was a very simulating group, we put the world to rights
and lots of prints were produced.
