Dry Point Etching on Plexiglass - Sleeping Cat

This video is demo outlining the process of dry point etching and printing from my home studio.

Supply list:
Plexiglass - cut to the size plate you want.
Your Image - either a drawing or photo.
An Etching tool - This can be any sharp object to scratch the plexiglass, I'm using a diamond tip etching pencil in this demo. I've used a pottery tool in the past as well as an Exacto knife.
Black paper or cardboard, this is optional but a helpful tool that I used to see where I've etched
Paper towels or an old newspaper - used to. keep your area clean, apply the ink, and remove the ink.
Rubber Gloves
Intaglio Ink - on this demo I use calico safe wash ink.
Inking Stump - DIY video here:    • DIY Inking Stump from an Old T-Shirt  
Pre- dampened heavy Printmakers paper or watercolor paper - I spray each page with water and stacked them between damp folded newsprint to keep them moist and ready for printing.
In this demo I use an etching press to print.

Thanks for watching.
