Award-winning mezzotint engraver Carol Wax traces the art form's
beginnings in 1642, through its growth as a vital British industry
for reproducing paintings, to its demise after the invention of
photography and resurgence as a means of original expression. This
newly revised edition explains various means for creating dark
backgrounds on copper plates and rendering images reductively, or
in the mezzotint manner. Copious illustrations accompany
step-by-step technical instruction and include prints by
practitioners at the forefront of the current mezzotint revival.
Includes helpful information on: tools; inks; papers; printing
techniques; using mezzotint with other mediums; related engraving
and drypoint techniques. Additional updates emphasize nontoxic
materials and make this book useful to artists with diverse
experiences and interests.
