Print blog 7 1st day

My first day in print, loved it. Discovered dry-point, it's a very easy way to get quick, effective prints. all you need is a thick acatate sheet and something to scratch it. what makes it easy is; 1)the scratchs take up the ink, unlike lino-cut where it's the background that takes the ink.dry-point is much more like drawing. 2) because the acetate is transparent you can trace over things.Transfering an image to the acetate is so easy 3)again , because it's transparent once the picture is drawn you can cut from the other side so the final image is'nt reversed , this makes things so easy,no szusprises when the print is revealed. 4)SCRATCHING THE ACETATE S ALMOST AS FAST AS DRAWING, MUCH LESS TEDIOUS THAN CUTTING LINO
