Create beautiful, densely rich prints using this painterly printmaking method. Learn to construct inexpensive plates of various sizes from sintra layered with monofilament mesh painted with black acrylic. Work your way back to soft highlights by layering polymer gels with brushes and textures. The plate will mirror and resemble your final image. Intaglio printing with non-toxic inks on rag papers yields dense, mezzotint-like surfaces which explore gesture, texture, and tonal effects. This collagraph like technique is a wonderful print experience for all artists.
