engraving - paisaje del norte

the same block, the first one printed using the roller to ink.

 this one was inked a la poupée as a drypoint, the difference is that is was drawn on PVC with a soldering iron.

etching

first I made the portrait with red gouache and sugar on to the metal, then covered it with hard base then washed the gouache, then the acid. Though I had to retouch some parts where the hard base had washed off

i don't know what this technique is called in English... a soft base of painting then added some pieces of cloth and thread on top, then pressed. After that into the the acid like a normal etching...

this is my first print in this technique. i like the way the acid made the lines on the metal, i think i'll be doing more of these in the future, meanhile i'll keep on learning and doing exercises, like this one, but in other techniques new to me.

i made the drawing in black with markers, scanned it and coloured it with the PC, to use it in the promotion of a musical show, then i also made an engraving out of it for school. i already engraved the other two colours i'll print but still haven't made any colour printings, just the black part which in fact will be the last one to be printed in the process.

i didn't use a sketch first, carved it directly just for fun. it's a scan of the woodcut itself, haven't printed it yet.

it looks like an obsession but it's not. it's just i'm working on this woodcut, and someone asked me to upload a pic of the woodcut itself. Here's a scan i did before i added a couple a details while checking the image, you know, horizontal flip (mirror) then change black into white, etc.

The upper part is missing as it's doesn't enter the scanner, it's 24 x 30 x 0.3 cm (9.6 x 12 x 6/5 inches). I can't scan it rght now since it's all golden and full of xilographic ink, then i'm posting this one.

i already stamped it in colours. the first print is a solid dark purple colour rectangle, then when dry i printed the woodcut in golden ink on top.



it's the first try that's why the golden print doesn't look ok. once i make other copies the layer will look solid.



(the image: i used a sketch i did of a painting by Fader)
