Etching can seem mysterious and inaccessible, but this practical
book guides you through the process to reveal the potential of this
distinctive means of creating artists' prints. With clear
instructions and visual guides, it explains the many ways that
marks are first made on a metal plate before ink is applied and the
image transferred onto a sheet of paper. The book goes on to
introduce a broad menu of techniques, allowing the visual artist to
develop a uniquely personal approach. Topics include the materials
and equipment needed to get started, from the simple etching needle
and scraper-burnisher to the etching press. Explanations are given
for photo-etching, aquatint, as well as related intaglio processes
such as drypoint and photopolymer. This new book encourages artists
to experiment and try combining techniques to explore their
potential, and includes interviews with leading artists explaining
their approaches.
