Artist's Comments
This is my very first drypoint print!!!
 10 x 8 cm I'm beginning to learn this traditional way, I'm very excited!. Drypoint is a printmaking technique of the intaglio family, in which an image is incised into a plate (or "matrix") with a hard-pointed "needle" of sharp metal or diamond point. Traditionally the plate was copper, but now acetate, zinc, or plexiglas are also commonly used. Like etching, drypoint is easier for an artist trained in drawing to master than engraving, as the technique of using the needle is closer to using a pencil than the engraver's burin. |

if you're interested, try etching into a ubex sheet. plexi glass produced sharper lines, which i'm guessing you used, while ubex produces a "burr" i believe its called, which is a burrow that happens when you scratch into it. The burr makes blurrier, but not so noticeable, which is an interesting technique to try.

There is no way to measure an artist, or their work, because nothing matters, but their vision. Their acceptance by the rest of the world is merely external.
