This video was fantastic, so often in art demonstrations all you see is everything going according to plan. It was refreshing to see you go through the real process, mistakes and all. Also I love your positivity and humor.
We're all about honesty here!! Haha, we're so glad you liked the vid :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Hi I'm an intermediate printmaker and have been taught in a university and the local studio setting. I have to say your introduction to drypoint and printing at home is very concise and enjoyable to watch. I've done a variety of techniques in regards to intaglio but never drypoint work so this video was a great visual and informative of how the bur works and more importantly the degradation of it over time! Thanks again, definitely subscribing.
We are so happy you enjoyed it!! Art tutorials that are a bit "out there"-- ex. not drawing or painting-- can be worlds of fun to film :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This video is monumentally detailed and entertaining at the same time. That's not an easy feat to achieve. It's not an accident that most printmakers love everything about print making, except printing. That's why the big shot print artists send their work away to an atelier to have the work printed. For the rest of us, we just have to put up with the frustration, but also the elation when you pull a great print. Thank you to the generous donor who made this video happen.
Yes, I think all of the hard work and technique that goes into getting a successful print makes the result all the more gratifying! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Excellent video! It was helpful to see problems and troubleshooting. One idea that might help with working from a reversed image would be to scan the proof, reverse it in an image editor, then print it with your printer. Thanks for taking the time to make such an informative video!
By far the best exposition of Drypoint. Very detailed: a perfect beginners guide that would be of value to a more value to someone with more experience too. You are a lovely entertaining teacher and thank you for showing how and why things don't go right and why. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Wow! I had no idea this type of work went into printmaking. Even though intaglio printmaking is not my forte, I love watching Clara produce videos like this- showing the ups and downs of a specific medium. It reminds me that perfection doesn’t always happen and to enjoy my work. Thank you a wonderful video as usual 😃
I’m so glad to hear that! Mistakes are fundamental to being an artist, no matter how experienced you are! -Prof Lieu
Excellent teaching and demonstration.
Glad you enjoyed it! -Prof Lieu
You are SUCH a good online teacher. Amazing! thanks for sharing your expertise so well (orderly and clear) and with such enthusiasm.
Thank you so much!!! We're happy you enjoyed the video-- Prof Lieu is the best! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This is a fabulous all encompassing video about intaglio printmaking! You covered all the important points from mark making to presses! Thank you!.
Tysm for your kind words, this tutorial took FOREVER to make! -Prof Lieu
@@artprof it must have. You didn’t miss anything! Well done.
This video is so high quality and easy to understand, it's so much better than anything I could've expected omg
Wow Tysm!! -Prof Lieu

This is so good! Thank you for making this. My print class is about to start intaglio this week and while we aren't doing dry point it's encouraging to know there is a form of etching I can do in a home studio. Also, your enthusiasm for print is infectious! I can really tell you love what you do and it makes me so excited! Thank you!
We're so happy you enjoyed it!! Thanks for your lovely comment :) Good luck with intaglio! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Really excellent, thank you

Your generosity is amazing, thank you so much.
Thank you for being here with us! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
the first printmaking video that actually shows the real and long experience of editing a print lol. figthing with the presure and having to do numerous prints just to get it right makes it so real
I feel like when I do printmaking it's nothing but mistakes!! I will never understand the videos where everything works at the very first time.😆 -Prof Lieu
Thanks! Loved your video and I hope my students will too. Laughed with you at your frustration at your proofing/pressure/wiping. Been there! As a teacher, I so want my students to watch your repetition montage of wiping, cleaning bevel, set on bed, remove gloves, etc. I love that you did that! Smiles and happy printing!
Thank you so much for this kind comment, we are so proud of this vid! Hopefully it helps your students & makes learning drypoint fun :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I'm excited to watch this
We're so happy to hear that, thanks for tuning in with us! - Mia, Art Prof Staff

Tysm for watching! -Prof Lieu
Absolutely brilliant informative video. Thanks so much
Glad it was helpful! -Prof Lieu
Clara thank you for this fun and informative video! I am new to this process and actually found my way over here while researching and learning about alternative photographic printmaking processes. I've never heard of Intaglio before (no formal art training) but am now quite interested in learning more and, specifically, how I might incorporate some of these techniques into platinum/palladium printmaking. Thank you again and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos...
Fantastic! There's no going back once you hear about intaglio printmaking hehehe😂 -Prof Lieu
Great presentation!!! You can really tell how much experience you have doing this. Thank you for passing on your knowledge.
Thank you so much for watching, this was a blast to film! - Mia, Art Prof
Great video.
What an adventure! I hope one day to make one of these.
It's so satisfying to watch! We wish you luck on all of your printmaking endeavors :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I’m so gonna try etching! Thanks for showing the details of what’s goes into this process!
You are so welcome! We hope you have fun with it! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
You're a great teacher, this was so comprehensive and fun to watch. I learned quite a bit and I went to art school and had printmaking lessons and some experience (including plexiglass). Thank you for sharing this video.
You are so welcome! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
That was ... awesome. Thank you!
Thank you for watching, I'm happy you enjoyed it! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Thank you for your so great video! your students are lucky 😁 Your work, the prints you show at the end, is just amazing.
I did ONE plate as a kid with my mother, more than 50 years ago. I am thinking it's about time I do a second one. Thank you so much.
Antoine, in Portugal.
Oh wow-- we would love to see your plate if you ever decide to make another one! Art like this always blows my mind :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
What a wonderful wonderful video, I LOVE it!! Thank you! I don't feel so bad now reprinting my plate a million times thinking I should give up printmaking I am so bad. You are so much fun too while giving so much information. ❤
We're happy to hear you found this video so encouraging! ❤️ -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
This was an excellent insight. Thank you
Thank you for watching! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Very well explained. You are a very good teacher. Now this secrets are revelated, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Clara did this other one on plate preparation in case you need that too: ua-cam.com/video/AZmgTO1ePX8/v-deo.html -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
This is the most informative and interesting printmaking video I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much fir your thorough teaching! I have had a baby press for years and have been wanting to use it.
Glad it was helpful! That’s great that you have a baby press, it’s actually quite surprising how much you can do at home! -Prof Lieu
This is the best tutorial on drypoint technique. Very thorough and I learnt a lot. Thank you...
I'm so glad to hear that, drypoint is really involved, so many parts to the process! -Prof Lieu
Nice video! ps. Love the Hugh & Benedict pics in the back.
They're the best part according to Prof Lieu! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This was so well done. Very enjoyable and informative. I love your enthusiasm.
Glad you enjoyed it! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist

Woohoo! Glad you liked the video, thank you for watching :D - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Of course, happy to help! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Awesome! Beginner printmaker here and this video has been super helpful. I will definitely be coming back to this. I'm currently saving to buy a press, and I really like how accesible the one you have is. I also like the color lol...
This press is such a great investment if you can afford it! -Prof Lieu
Thank you for your very vivid and highly informative video. great stuff 👍
Thank you so much for watching!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff

Excellent advice, well explained

This was amazing! I love your honesty throughout this process and I learned SO much. Also, I genuinely loved how thrilled you were when you finally got the print to come out how you wanted 😂🎉
Thank you so much!! Omg it was such a RELIEF when I finally got a good print 😆 -Prof Lieu
This looks super challenging which is half the fun and I totally want to try it
Give it a shot, you can do it! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Thanks for this great demo. You’re hilarious!
hahaha thanks! -Prof Lieu

Thanks! We have a whole playlist of printmaking tutorials if you would like to learn more: ua-cam.com/play/PLvt8_pMl6ywmmh4n-Zs_iIiAASQmSxAli.html -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Brilliant and so funny too. Making mistakes and laughing about them is great as I now feel at ease about making my own mistakes when doing drypoint!
Glad I can help by stumbling all over the place! 😂 -Prof Lieu
@Art Prof: Create & Critique
Thanks for taking the time and effort of making these videos :)
I don't think I will ever get to do this, but still I "couldn't help" but watch the whole video, it was such a perfect combination of being "instructional and teaching" while still being relatable and entertaining...Not an easy thing to do, Kudos
Best regards.
Thank you so much for watching and your really sweet comment! It's so hard to strike a balance between instructional and relatable, I'm glad you think we've found it! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Great video! Thanks!
You're welcome! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Loved this video, what a great teacher you are! hehe
She's the best! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Best Video ever, so well explained with all necessary details and tips. Big like
Thank you so much! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Thank you! Learned a lot here. My mom taught print making at CU when I was a kid.
Wow, that's such a special experience to have with your mom! How awesome :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Learned a lot...for example, I am way too lazy for this.
I do block printing with the Speedball rubber sheets, using multiple colors painted onto the block, which makes every print unique, but that's my limit. Fantastic video.
Haha, I totally relate! This process is so cool to learn about, but maybe not to practice. Thanks for watching! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
It looks a fantastic video,with honesty as I could see the mistakes,I really amazed to see this,and very happy to learn all the technicalities of drypoint technique, thank you mam,,❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! I have never ever printed and not made mistakes !!! -Prof Lieu
Thank you very much for watching, glad you learned some things from it! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Love your work :)
Thank you! Cheers! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
That was great!! I did an etching course many moons ago, and failed at it so miserably 🙈😂 But there was definitely a magic about the process that stayed with me, and my appreciation of print & etching grew tremendously. I may take the opportunity to do it again some time. ♥️
If you do it again, you'll probably learn from some of the mistakes from the last time! There is quite a learning curve, for sure. -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Great video!! you're amazing
YOU'RE amazing :') - Mia, Art Prof Staff
I love watching you. How fun are you? Thank you for this. Interesting.
We're doing just wonderfully! You are so welcome. Thank you for watching! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Three cheers! Great video!
Thank you! Cheers! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
This might sound terrible, but being an art student that is learning this technique I was so glad to see you mess up so many times 😂 That's been exactly my experience so far. Also it was nice seeing the small differences from your workplace to my college's ✨
Not terrible at all!! Intaglio was sooooo frustrating to me at first and I really thought it was because I was just bad at it. Even the most experienced printmaker has to constantly troubleshoot! -Prof Lieu
So helpful. I've been through this with plexiglass and I've seen a demo of copper plate making with chine colle, but this will be a reference!
I'm glad this video is a useful resource for you! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
You could always take a photo of the first state and reverse it in the phone! That's one way to make it less dizzying... Fabulous stuff - I knew so little about printmaking before but feel like I could do it now if I had the supplies! :D
So smart!!! Great tip! -Prof Lieu
Simple idea but SO clever!
I loved it ! ( At 41:50 you could see the proof throw a mirror to make the corrections on the plate.) Your video make me feel to make etching again !
Thank you ! 🌷
Awesome! Thank you! -Prof Lieu
Wow !
The only thing I would say, because you hit everything really well, with great enthusiasm, is an A.P. is a preparatory state of the print, before it is considered a finished work; which is why there is only print in that particular state of the printing process. It is a proof for the artist, i.e., A.P. And it is kept as a test piece for further development. Sometimes sold for a lower price than a finished piece.
Thanks for the in depth explanation! -Prof Lieu
Thank you so much for this great video! Super funny, too! :)
Haha, thank you for watching! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Very interesting.
We're glad you think so! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Clara, this was amazing! Thanks so much for this, going through the process in so much detail. As a novice printmaker, I appreciate the amount of work it takes. I could relate to your frustration or giddyness after observing the result of the print. I appreciated your brief explanation about signing editions. I would love to know more about this: it is hard to find info on the many signatures and many types of editions there are. I have so many questions about what makes an edition: is using a different paper a new edition? A different colour? So many questions! Thanks again for all the effort put into this video. Great shots and edition 📸 -it takes lots of work BTS and it deserves to be appreciated 👍👍👍👍
Yes, using a different paper or a different colour would be a different edition.

Ikea has nice cart called bror that I use for my press and highly recommend. If you stain the top it adds a beautiful finish.
ooooo thanks for the recommendation! -Prof Lieu
What a fantastic post! Even as someone who has been printmaking for quite a few years now this was quite informative…..the use of an alternate print bed in particular. My heavy metal bed has come close to causing an injury at times. I switched from etching to drypoint due to the Immediacy of the technique and plastic is my preferred plate. It’s less stressful on the hand and being able to see my drawing thru the plastic is a major plus. I so felt your pain trying to get even an acceptable print…..so many factors involved! Is it the roller pressure, is the paper too wet or too dry? Over inking or not enough needle pressure? Getting that perfect print is ultimately what makes it so satisfying!
I have to find a printmaking technique that's not rough on my hand! With tedious artmaking like that it's easy to get repedative injuries :( We're so glad you found a way that's working for you!! Thanks for watching :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
@@artprof I use the printmaking plastic that is about 1.5 millimetres thick rather than the heavier perspex. It’s a lovely surface to work on but I imagine the quality of print degrades a tad quicker than perspex. I only ever do limited edition print runs anyway…….sometimes only 10 or 15.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks Clara (-: Marion
Thanks for watching, Marion! ❤️ -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Thank you so much for the great informative video! Love the work... Would you please tell me is the cleaning of the plate (baby oil and de.Alch) should be after every single print?
Only if you are switching to a different color. If you want to say 5 prints, all in black, there is no need to clean the plate. -Prof Lieu
9:49 I love this one. Are these spirits? What was the idea behind it? Can you please give me a link where I can see it ? Thanks.
When evaluating and redoing the lines on copper and the print is the opposite way round. Could you photograph it and reverse it ? Really enjoyed this video thanks
You could, I guess I'm lazy! (I also like the surprise factor😀) -Prof Lieu
good teacher
...and nice mezzotint in there, too
Thank you so much for watching!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Hello! Thank you for taking time to make, edit and release these videos! A quick question, what thickness is ideal for the copper plate? Thank you!
I totally can't remember the exact number, but any copper plate you buy from a printmaking company (McClain's, Graphic Chemical, and Renaissance Graphic Arts are all good) will be the correct gauge. -Prof Lieu
Amazing video. Thank you so much for all the useful information and showing that even someone doing this for years can still have off prints. I just got an open press project mini press and am learning how to do intaglio with dry point. Just me and you tube!! Your video has given me so many tips and you're fun to watch. Is all the artwork shown in video yours? Really beautiful work.
I agree, I've been following his work and still think he's amazing! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
