Printmaking Processes: Intaglio

Intaglio: The lines of the image are incised, or cut, into a metal plate. This can be done with sharp tools, as in engraving, or with acid, as in etching and aquatint. Ink is applied and forced into the incised areas. Ink remaining on the surface is removed, and the plate is ready for printing.

I'm getting annoyed because I have to produce a portfolio, with a lot of prints; would like to work on my own after hours, but there's nobody to help me out and I still don't know what the times are for acid bath. Did it on my own for a landscape, but lines turned out too heavy imo. They're all etched lines, would prefer burin.

Very good! I'm in an "intro to intaglio' course at an art college, and not getting near this level of technical instruction. We just transfer a drawing onto a grounded plate, put it into acid for a time, rinse it, spray it with black spray paint, back into acid, and repeat. This is to establish etched lines. I don't get it. Then after that's done, we start aquatinting with the spray paint again. We have to stop out areas we don't want aquatinted, with spray - and so on. I'm finding it confusing

[Riven Daniel]

the end result of these plates are very beautiful

However, as a print maker myself, alot the processes used was very inefficient

that being said, I still found this video good and the art work shown was beautiful
