this is called a relief paint because the image on the plate projects, or sticks up, from the surface. The artist draws on a block of wood, then cuts away the parts that will remain white. Ink is then rolled onto the remaining raised area. Then, the surface is printed to reveal a mirror image of the original cutout design
|
Woodcut
|
|
these prints are made from the lines or crevices in a plate. To produce the design, the printmaker makes lines and scratches in the metal plate, usually zinc or copper. Ink is forced into these grooves by rubbing, and the rest of the plate is wiped clean. To transfer the image, the paper is dampened and placed against the plate press. Under great pressure, the dampened paper picks up the ink from the grooves and the image is made

Intaglio

same as woodcutting except on linoleum
