Printmaking

I have just completed my elective which was on Printmaking, it consisted of doing an assortment of traditional printing methods including monotone, dryprint, etching and aquatone amongst others. I think that it was good learning these methods due to how some effects can be recreated digitally but it just isn't the same as doing it by hand. When you do prints yourself you often have a nice mistake where something looks better when it reacts differently to how you thought. I think that i will try to apply these methods into future projects as they could aid in making intersting pieces.
An example of etching plate prints.
