Etchings
latest editions
Drypoint is an intaglio printmaking method that differs from etching in that the image is created by the artist incising the lines directly into the plate using an etching needle or similar tool. A ‘burr’ is thrown up when the line is incised which traps the ink and gives a drypoint its distinctive appearance.
