The artist then removes the blankets at the other end, revealing the final print.

This is then cranked between two steel rollers, which presses the blankets into the softened paper and forces the paper down into the ink-filled crevices of the metal plate, where it grabs the ink and produces the image. The artist then places the plate face-up onto the bed of an etching press, laying a dampened sheet of etching paper on top, followed by two felt blankets (which ensure there is even pressure applied). This means the ink is now only present in the recessed areas, ready to be printed. The artist wipes the plate clean with a rag, or tarlatan. The artist applies ink to the entire surface of the finished plate, ensuring it is rubbed into the recessed areas and incisions. All prints are hand-pulled.The artist cuts, scratches or etches their design (depending on which intaglio process they use) onto a printing plate, which is traditionally made of copper, but can also be zinc, aluminium, magnesium, plastics, or even coated paper.

#Intaglio paint series#
These Photogravures* are from a series of prints with the overall titel: Matter. From time to time a fast attack work as well. A type of paint in which pigment is temporarily suspended in water. A visible mark of the paintbrush on the surface of the painting. A style of painting that emphasizes the brushstroke, and the action of applying paint to the surface.

The plate will emboss into the paper so that you will see the tell-tale plate mark around the edges of the image and on the reverse of the print. But also a proces where the material must be concurred slowly, patiently in steps. The thick buildup of paint on the surface of a painting. Intaglio is the form of printmaking in which the image is incised into the printing plate the incised areas hold the ink which is transferred to dampened paper, under pressure, by rolling through a press. It is a sensitive proces - as a meditation working with the brush. I'm painting on transparent film and in the proces of painting the material offers a great deal of resistance. The rythm, repetition and movement of the brush together with varying solvents of ink builds up the motifs. In these ink paintings, the circle shape disolves in different stages. The circle is a shape that I keep returning to. For Sale on 1stDibs - Crown Tart, 2015, Intaglio by Wayne Thiebaud.
