In printmaking class we had to make an intaglio print based on a work from art history. I flipped through some old textbooks she had for us to use and I decided on The Birth of Venus. If you’re not familiar with the printing method, we etched our design on a plexiglass plate, inked the plate, buffed it out and the ink makes its home in the grooves.
She’s definitely one of yours! Thanks so much for sharing your process. I am kind of hoping to see her pop up in future projects with your signature color style, too.
Wow, great print, and fascinating process! Sounds very painstaking to do the intaglio print; was it? Sounds like such an exciting class! Love your version of Venus.
