Printmaking Studies: Incorporating Color

with Drypoint

Instructor: Antoinette Vogt

Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique in which a sharp tool is used to scratch the drawing or design into the plate. In this class students will learn techniques to add color to their prints. Both hand coloring techniques and color printing "a la poupee" will be explored. Printing "a la Poupee" refers to adding colors onto the plate all at once and then running it through the press to create a multi-colored print. From start to finish, students will learn the basics of plate making, inking, and printing using an etching press. Adult: All Levels -
