The following week, I went back to the printmaking workshops and continued both processes: drypoint etching and film print.
After etching the metal sheet with a pointed tool, I spreaded ink on the surface using a square rubber block. Once the ink is evenly spread, I started removing the ink with various materials: yellow paper, rags, and tracing paper. Using the etching printing press, I printed this work out.
I first stuck on red vinyl to the back of it. Next, using safety glasses and gloves, I placed the metal sheet in the acid bath for 30 minutes. Having to check up on it every 10 minutes, I used a feather to gently brush off little bubbles on the metal sheet.
After 30 minutes, I washed off the metal sheet with water. Next I started doing the same ink process as the etching process. Here are both of the results:
