DryPoints


My 3rd and 4th dry points were actually on a lighter weight paper, which is normally used for printing onto. I couldnt leave them to get wet for too long or they just fell apart so they wernt very damp, this made me think originally it wasnt going to work well but infact as you can see they worked extremely wel especially the orange. The black ink looks good against the vibrant orange background, i think the ink was i bit thick as it took a long while to dry and it's a very dark print but it worked wel. The white also worked wel but when i rubbed the ink into the etched area i didnt take all the excess off around the acetate and so it printed some spotty patches onto the page a little.
