An intaglio printmaking process in which lines are scratched directly into a metal plate with a steel needle. Also, the resulting print.
An intaglio technique in which the line is scratched directly into the copper plate with a sharp metal point, traditionally a dry point needle. As the needle scores the copper, it creates a ridge of metal known as the burr on both sides of the line, thus holding the ink and printing as a rich velvety line.
Similar to etching, but the lines are simply scratched into the plate manually, without the use of acid. The hallmark of a drypoint is a soft and often rather thick or bushy line somewhat like that of an ink pen on moist paper.
Drawing on metal plate with a needle of hard steel, often with a diamond point. The "burr" that is formed along the edge of the line traps the link for a soft rich effect.
is a technique that involves drawing directly onto the surface of a metal plate with a sharp, pointed tool, often with a diamond point. The tool creates a small ridge, or burr, on the side of the incision. When the plate is inked with a roller, the burr holds extra ink, creating soft, velvety lines in the finished print. Cottingham used the drypoint method in the Barrera-Rosa's series.
Direct manual contact on a metal plate with any defining tool, usually steel or diamond tipped, which creates the furrows and furled-back burr of the line or dotted image. It is called "dry" to distinguish it from the "liquid" (acid bath) etching procedures.
A method of printmaking in which the design is scratched directly into the metal plate with a sharply pointed tool. The most distinctive characteristic of a drypoint print made from that plate is the raised "burr" left on both sides of the cut line, similar in appearance to an image drawn with a felt-tip pen on damp paper.
is an intaglio process in which a sharp needle is used to scratch a line directly onto a metal plate. The metal that is displaced and retained on either side of this line, called burr, holds more ink than the incised line itself, creating a rich, velvety tone, characteristic of this technique. The burr quickly breaks off during the printing process, and only a few very strong impressions can be made before the plate wears out.
An intaglio printing process in which lines are drawn on a metal plate, rather than etched by acid. A sharp needle is drawn directly on the plate, raising a burr. The burr and the incised line hold the ink, creating velvety effects.
an intaglio technique in which a sharp needle is used to scratch the surface of the plate which leaves a burr that produces a softer line than either an engraving or intaglio print.
An engraving in which the raised sliver of metal is left intact on the plate, thus retaining an excess of ink that produces a soft burr to the printed line. This characteristic effect rapidly wears out and it is not possible to print more than a dozen good quality impressions without steel-facing the plate.
In drypoint the artist draws directly onto the plate using a hardened steel stylus which displaces the metal, producing a burr. The lines produced by this method of printing have a slightly fuzzy quality.
Intaglio technique in which image is drawn directly into the surface of a metal plate with a sharp etching needle. This raises a burr which will hold the ink if wiped properly.
Drawing directly on the copper plate with a sharp point creates a rough ridge of metal--a burr--along the furrow. When the plate is inked, the burr catches the ink, producing dark, velvety accents.
An intaglio process where the inscribing needle leaves burrs on the plate, resulting in soft lines.
An intaglio printmaking technique, similar to engraving, in which a sharp needle is used to draw on a metal plate, raising a thin ridge of metal that creates a soft line when the plate is printed. Also, the resultant print.
Intaglio method in which a sharp needle is used to scratch a line onto a metal plate. The resultant burr of metal that is raised holds more ink than the incised line itself and gives the rich, velvety stroke characteristic of the technique. The plate wears out rapidly because the burr soon breaks off during printing.
Drypoint is a form of engraving that uses needles and therefore the lines are very soft and fine. The lines tend to be short and look scratched, or even slashed. When the line is scratched into the metal plate the tool makes a ragged burr on each side of the line. This burr, as well as the carved line itself, hold a great deal of ink and cause the feathery nature of the lines. The burr quickly wears down under the pressure of the press. This means that Drypoints withstand much smaller editions than etching or engraving.
The artist works directly on the copper or zinc plate with a sharp steel or gemstone needle, which leaves two burrs, one on either side of a incised line. The depth of the line is controled by the artist muscle and experience. It is the ink caught in the burrs that gives drypoints their distinctive soft line quality.
an intaglio method in which a plate is directly scored with a needle.
A technique of intaglio engraving in which a hard steel needle is used to incise lines in the metal plate, with the burr at the side of the furrows retained.
An method of intaglio engraving where a linear design is scratched on a soft metal plate using a diamond point or hard steel. The metal pushed up is called a burr is excellent for retaining ink. A velvet black line is the result. Drypoints have been used since the tim,e of Durer.
Non-acid intaglio method using a shape point to incise a line in a metal or plastic plate
A nonacid intaglio process in which the plate is needled with a sharp steel or other point. The burr that is raised in the process is responsible for the characteristic velvety quality of the printed line. Drypoint information breaks down more quickly than etched information. edition The total number of identical prints pulled and authenticated by the artist.(Signed and numbered.)
An image that is drawn with a metal point on a plate and then printed before or without the plate being etched with acid. This technique is distinguished by soft or furry lines where the plate has been marked.
Printing technique of intaglio, engraving in which a hard, steel needle incises lines on a metal plate, creating a burr that yields a characteristically soft and velvety line in the final print.
Drypoint is a printmaking technique of the intaglio family, in which an image is incised into a plate by scratching the surface with a hard, sharp metal (or diamond) point. Traditionally the plate was copper, but now acetate, zinc, or plexiglas are more commonly used. The deeper the scratch on the surface, the darker the ink will be at that point.
