This practical new paperback edition explains the full process of
etching, covering traditional techniques in depth and introducing
modern ideas when they add to mark-making capabilities. Illustrated
with lavishly finished examples and clear step-by-step sequences,
this beautiful book covers the basics of etching - the materials
required, how to prepare a plate, and ways of making marks using
hard ground, soft ground and aquatint. Other etching techniques are
covered including spit-bite and sugar lift, and how to transfer
images onto the plate using photo etching. Engraving techniques are
shown with various ways of making the plate without acid: drypoint,
line engraving, stipple engraving and mezzotint. Advice on printing
is given including papers and inks, the printing process and more
advanced techniques such as colour printing and editioning.
