Today I had an induction in the etching room into dry point work. I based my dry point work on one of the black and white "seed neurals" images on this blog. The first attempt consisted of a few simple lines, to get a feeling for how hard we should press with the tool. Later I cross-hatched areas of the printing "plate" using light and heavy strokes of the tool, and I printed two more examples. The method used produced intaglio prints, whereby the printing ink sits in the scratches on the plate and is pressed out on to the printing paper.
