PLEASE NOTE - you can 'degrease' your metal plate using cream cleaner (Jif is one brand that springs to mind) the stuff that is used to clean sinks and baths. You can squirt that onto your plate and give it a good rub with a cloth, then rinse. Add a little water to be able to manipulate the mix on the plate as you give it a good rub all over. You might need to do that 3 times until the water runs off the plate in a smooth film. I am saying this because it is NON TOXIC to your lungs or chest ...............this is much safer than using whiting and ammonia( or alcohol) . I was taught to use this process many years ago but now ....we use the JIF method. When you are in your twenties you cant be bothered and think oh I 'll just use whats here.........BUT IT DOES affect your health in the long term. I have experience of this.
Thank you for the walk through, I'm very inspired! Hey can you tell me what you set your copper plate on, I saw that it didn't move at all, even though you were using a fair bit of pressure on it.
Strange image. Nice demonstration overall. (I just found another of my etchings acquired by another museum). Intaglio is such a wonderful process. I always get a jolt of electricity when I see a Charles Brand press. I actually met the old Brand brothers in their lower eastside workshop way back when!
I loved making these in school, they were a lot of fun. For some reason, the image here really gave me Blade Runner vibes, I guess because of the owl and pyramid, very nice.
I really like the image on the plate Sarah - I am surprised you still use mineral spirit to remove the etching hard ground. You can now get environmentally safer things to do this such as "Zest it" as a replacement for turpentine and similar solvents.
@@autumnortiz6782 Hmm, that's unfortunately anti-Catholic imagery, hence the Pope hat. So, great video, but I ain't liking it! I've read too much anti-Catholic stuff, even though I'm not religious or Catholic - I just like history. Remember, most 1,000+ year old institutions have issues if you look hard enough...
@@sergioaguis depends on how I look at it - if I do it from my 9yrs old son's perspective, yes, it is nice but for me is like paint by numbers and I'm trying to be nice ;)
@@a.i.5673 BAHAHAHA! omg I normally wouldn't bother, but this was too much I couldn't not. You do understand that the majority of the most well known artists in the world such as but not limited to Albrecht Dürer, Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee do intaglio. Anyways, I'm glad you were willing to admit 9 year olds have more taste than you, mustn't have been easy but admittance is the first step. That being said have fun with your paint by numbers love ;)

JIF(aka CIF) is described as having limestone particles in it. Won't that scratch a polished plate?

Is it true they used this music to torture spies for information?
Yep, that’s difficult to make.
🤔
Much time spend but no nice
Nice. Very nice. But...the owl, triangle, eye, handshake, crown...wow...really? Who commissioned this? The devil?
