Artist: Me
Title: Untitled
Type: Dry point print
I did this last year and it was my first try at dry point printing. The process was tedious. First, we had to draw out our composition using cross hatching on paper (mine is in pen, which can be seen on the 1st board under the post The 8 boards in Others), then repeat the process on a plastic and then use a cork to apply a thin layer of black acrylic paint on the engraved plastic, before I could print it out on a piece of moist newspaper. The plastic survived only a few prints before it cracked.
I think this print is too dark (too much paint), and could be lighter so that the details can be seen. However, it still has some good qualities like it having a nostalgic look, like those kind of black and white pictures seen in old photos.
