Grace Under Pressure by Deb Caponera by Green Wall Arts Collective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure Fine lines forced into metal with acid, ink pounded into the lines, the paper pressed into the plate under 100s of pounds of pressure, the etching process is an arduous one, but its results are why those who take it on are obsessed with it.... Etching is an intaglio printmaking technique that uses chemical action to produce incised lines in a metal printing plate which then hold the applied ink and form the image The plate, traditionally copper but now usually zinc, is prepared with an acid-resistant ground. Lines are drawn through the ground, exposing the metal. The plate is then immersed in acid and the exposed metal is ‘bitten’, producing incised lines. Stronger acid and longer exposure produce more deeply bitten lines. The resist is removed and ink applied to the sunken lines, but wiped from the surface. The plate is then placed against paper and passed through an printing press with great pressure to transfer the ink from the recessed lines. Sometimes ink may be left on the plate surface to provide a background tone... Deb Caponera is a Brooklyn based award winning photographer, designer, printmaker, and educator with a great passion for design, typography, the printing process and its history. She is deeply interested the power of art and design as tools of communication and influence. en-us 2022-07-16 19:07:29 UTC 2023-02-19 15:51:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Still Life With Pears GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585168 2022-07-16 19:37:44 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585168 Continuous State of Ha GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585253 2022-07-16 19:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585253 Untitled, Riso print on Reeves BFK GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585397 2022-07-16 19:39:08 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585397 NYC Stage II GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585480 2022-07-16 19:39:48 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585480 Gypsy For Kendra GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585525 2022-07-16 19:40:06 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585525 Disappointment GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585587 2022-07-16 19:40:33 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585587 Disaster GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585636 2022-07-16 19:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585636 Shame GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585671 2022-07-16 19:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585671 Mo GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585718 2022-07-16 19:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585718 Very Peculiar –ASL Group GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585800 2022-07-16 19:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2244585800 GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2487617040 2023-02-19 15:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2487617040 GreenWallArtsCollective https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2487617148 2023-02-19 15:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/GreenWallArtsCollective/GraceUnderPressure/wish/2487617148
