Combining Drypoint, Monotype & Collagraph... on 2 plates!

In this video I will be using two Perspex plates that will combine a variety of printing techniques; drypoint, collagraph and monotype to create a very atmospheric landscape.

Materials used:
Perspex sheets
Intaglio Printmaker Inks: Prussian Blue, Zinc White, Indian Yellow, Sepia, Raw Umber
Ginour Cordless mini grinder
Somerset 300g paper
Acrylic Matt Medium
Pollyfilla
Wood glue
Polymetaal HS-35 Tabletop Etching Press

Drypoint, collagraph and monotype prints are three different types of printing. They all use natural materials to create an image.
Drypoints are created when the artist carves a design into a metal plate with a sharp needle or tool such as etching needle. Collagraphs are created by placing paper on top of clay, which is then covered in ink and pressed onto paper. Monotypes involve painting images on canvas that have been coated with oil paint so they can be printed without needing plates or screens like other printmaking methods do.
