Black and white sketches of bare trees and their surroundings, made by direct observation in the graphic diary were the starting point for this series. Powerful and impatient traces made in the paper later opened in zinc matrices, metal in which the action of the mordent is faster, and therefore the lines obtained are more irregular and close to the initial drawings.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Etching

Engraving

Engraving technique consisting of incising or digging a matrix using a tool. After inking, it is printed on paper or another medium.

Technic Printmaking

Printmaking was originally used to communicate. Exceptional technical characteristics make it a valuable artistic medium. The artist creates an image on a flat surface to make a print. To create an original print, the artist inks the surface and presses it onto paper. Printmaking is the process of printing artworks Usually on paper but also fabric, wood, metal and other surfaces. ... Except for monotyping, all printing processes can produce identical multiples from the same artwork. The works thus produced are called prints or "impressions".
