Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking technique in which an image is scratched into a metal or plastic plate using conventional and non-conventional tools to create a distinctive, soft, velvety line. This is a great medium for those who like to draw and is equally accessible to those who prefer to bring an image that can be placed under a clear plastic plate to guide their mark making. Abstract and representational images are both compatible with this process. Explore inking and collage techniques for adding color. Leave with a small edition of prints and the skills for producing drypoint prints with or without a press.
