Printmaking process

Relief process

In an relief printing, artist would cut out the areas off a surface of the parts they don't need. artist use etching and sketching techniques to convey their art. They would then transfer their piece using a barren.

Steps

1. Images drawn onto surface with pencil

2. use a chisel to carve away all the negative space 

3. Ink is applied to the surface

4. ink is transfered to a piece of paper

       - Use barren (light pressure)

5. Let dry and, then you are done!  :) 

Intaglio Process

  In intaglio printmaking the artist incises into a surface of a plate with tools or acid. Then that plate would be coated with ink. then you would wipe that plate so the ink would only remain only in the incised areas. 

Steps.

1- Ink plate so that its fully covered

2. remove ink from plate

3. place plate in hot surface

4. let it soak
5. remove excess water
6. Transfer ink plate to press
7. Move the press with some pressure
8. Carefully remove the paper, then you're done!

Lithography

Lithography is based on the factors that oil and water do not mix. Areas with moisture repel the oil leaving out the negative space. The inked areas would be transferred to paper with a press.

Steps

1. Draw on stone with at material that contains grease. Ex- litho Crayons

2. Apply Arabic gum to chemically separate the image from the non image area.

3. Roll image on press.

4. Let dry then your'e complete.
