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
You’re an awesome person, this was probably the most wholesome and genuine and educational videos I’ve ever watched. It was a breeze to watch all the way through, even though it was an hour long. Breath of fresh air content wise on UA-cam in years, unlike all of the 1 minute shorts and 10min videos on here.
Tysm for your kind words, this video took sooooo long to produce, it's lovely to hear your comments! -Prof Lieu
@@artprof I am curious if you have ever ventured into lithography? I see that it must be super similar to this.
Yes! I did litho in art school, but haven't had the chance to do it again since you need to have access to a pro shop. One of my colleagues in Boston runs an amazing litho shop, I'm hoping some day we have the budget for me to go and film there! -Prof Lieu
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
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
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
Really excellent, thank you
You're an excellent teacher
Thank you! 😃-Prof Lieu
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
I agree! She's what I call, "A Fun Teacher" !
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
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
Great job showing it like it is. Patience....work...patience...work!
I think this is the all time best instructional video I have ever seen! What a wonderful personable teacher!
Thank you so much!!! -Prof Lieu
Super explication and I like that you show that the first version is not the final version
Amazing Clara. Intaglio is so labour intensive, but the results are magical...like going back in time. Thanks from New Zealand.
It really is!!! -Prof Lieu
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
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!
This was exceptionally informative. I appreciate your thorough explanation. Thank you for sharing all the things that you have learned from your experience.
I have a relief and dry point crit next week for class. Thanks for taking away some of the fears and unknowns
So glad I can help! You might like our woodcut tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/uAxEIG01Ix8/v-deo.html and our lino block tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/EBHhZGOMojo/v-deo.html -Prof Lieu
Not a word wasted. Thank you.
i enjoyed the full process and of course anyone who want to do this medium of art needs huge patience's !
Definitely!! -Prof Lieu
My god, this video made my day! I'm currently studying printmaking here in Brazil and it can be so frustrating seeing videos where everything turns out ok (mainly because the parts where thing are not going fine are taken out kkkk). This video gave me some courage!
Hahaha if I edited out everything that went badly, this video would probably be half as long! 😂 -Prof Lieu
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
The best art instructional video I have found. So easy to follow and very Comprehensive! Added bonus: a joy to watch.
We're happy you think so! Thanks for watching, we love making videos like this :) - Mia, Art Prof Staff
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
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
This is perfect! Thank you.
I am at highschool and this is a super clear example and explanation.
This was fantastic! Your video was fun and educational, and I am inspired to give it a try. I rarely leave comments, but I'd lost track of the number of videos I'd watched. I was determined to try, but I admit, I was getting pretty close to my limit - at least for this round of research. I'm excited once again. Thank you for bringing these techniques and steps to those of us not able to visit the Art Department and knock on the professor's door. I can't wait to give this technique a try. Cheers!
Ohhh so happy to hear it! Good luck with your foray into intaglio! When you make some prints, please share some pics with us! ❤️ -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
Excellent, excellent tutorial Prof Lieu!! Thorough, informative, really engaging. Thank you!!
I’m so glad to hear it!!! -Prof Lieu
This video is awesome - informative, thorough and entertaining. I appreciate the trouble-shooting and humor!
So glad you enjoyed it! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
You made that ginger look so beautiful. Thank you for the detailed video.
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
Thanks so much for the work you do!!
Tysm for supporting us Rebecca! -Prof Lieu
Hi, I’m Raquel you are an amazing teacher, so clear , teaching is an art and you get that gift. Thanks to share your knowledge.Good luck. Raquel from Australia
Thank you so much for learning with us! 😊 -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
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
Thanks!
Tysm for your support Robert! -Prof Lieu
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
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
Thanks so much this video is soooooo helpful. Lol I’ve had an etching press for over 18 years and have learnt more in this video than I have in the 18+ year of owing it……
You are so welcome! -Prof Lieu
🥰What a wealth of information! TY
Thanks
Thank you so much for supporting Art Prof! ❤️ -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
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
Very informative without any superfluous nonsense that we dont really need to know . Thanks very much for this , your experience in this is really helpful .
Woohoo! Glad you liked the video, thank you for watching :D - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This video really hypnotized me to try drypoint!!
Go for it! It is so much fun! -Prof Lieu
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
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
So many useful details! Thank you! 🙏
Fantastic video. You really explained and demonstrated how printmaking is done. I've always wanted to see this process. Thank you!
Awesome!!! -Prof Lieu
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
This was an amazing video! So insightful, made me want to get into print making again, every detail was so appreciated. Thank you for your hard work as always ❤️
Go for it! Printmaking ROCKS! -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
Loved this video, what a great teacher you are! hehe
She's the best! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Thanks, I eally enjoyed watching this. It's both informative and entertaining, and I love the fact you include the issues you encountered.
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
@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
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

We're happy to hear you found this video so encouraging! ❤️ -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
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
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
This is a FANTASTIC demo. Thank you so much!
Tysm for your kind words, this tutorial took forever to produce!! -Prof Lieu
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
Printmaking is something I’ve never gotten into, but this a super informative tutorial. Love watching all the videos on this channel.
Tysm for watching! -Prof Lieu
Beautiful!! Thank you so sharing
Excellent teaching and demonstration.
Glad you enjoyed it! -Prof Lieu
I'm excited to watch this
We're so happy to hear that, thanks for tuning in with us! - 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
You always give great insights and it's really great to have the ancient process explained as a How To. I've done intaglio printmaking and your tips are detailed and really helpful. Plus *Avoid the Shriveled Monkey Paw!
That's high praise!! -Prof Lieu
It's true, and, I learned some new tricks!
Great video! Thanks!
You're welcome! - 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
Your generosity is amazing, thank you so much.
Thank you for being here with us! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
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
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!
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
Nice video! ps. Love the Hugh & Benedict pics in the back.
They're the best part according to Prof Lieu! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
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
Thank you for your very vivid and highly informative video. great stuff 👍
Thank you so much for watching!! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
Glad you enjoyed it! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
This was an excellent insight. Thank you
Thank you for watching! - Mia, Art Prof Staff
This is fantastically detailed. Thank you!
So glad you noticed ! 🤩 -Prof Lieu
etchings on plexiglas have the advantage, that is it doesnt degrade like metal plate would,, you can make very large editions.. you could make hundreds of prints before it would become unusable. i get that one would think of an acrylic plate as an inferior material somehow, but i think it holds ink really really well, though i dont know exactly how it fare in a side-by-side comparison with a copper plate.
Thank you! I always wondered how this was done!
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
Excellent advice, well explained
Glad you think so! We also have this inking and wiping explainer if you need it: ua-cam.com/video/u8fk5MiJY9A/v-deo.html -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
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.

Thanks for this great demo. You’re hilarious!
hahaha thanks! -Prof Lieu
Great video...great humor!
thank you for a great informative video!
Great video.
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.
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
great vid and super useful.
Three cheers! Great video!
Thank you! Cheers! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
This was great. 😊
Tysm!! -Prof Lieu
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Of course, happy to help! -Lauryn, Art Prof Teaching Artist
