Week 2 Slideshow Pt. 2
Acrylic • Most synthetic painting media • Fast drying and flexible • Water-thinned, yet water resistant
Encaustic • Pigments suspended in hot beeswax • Egypt – painted directly on wooden coffins • Used only by a few painters today
Fresco • Painted directly into the wall • Damp lime-plaster surface • Painter works quickly n a rapid staining process • Lime forms transparent calcium crystals that chemically bind pigment to moist lime plaster wall • Aging deepens and enriches the colors – 50-100 years • Luminous color, fine surface, and permanent color make this medium ideal for large murals
Fresco • 12-14 straight hours to complete 2 square yards of the fresco • Favored medium during Renaissance – much on church walls • Secco Fresco • Dry fresco • Done on finished, dried lime plaster wall • Tempera paint applied to dry, clean surface or over an already completed fresco
Printmaking • Making multiple copies of a single image • Newspapers, books, posters, magazines, greetings • AP = artist proof
Relief Printmaking • Cut away parts that do not carry the ink • Woodcut, wood engraving, linoleum cut • Rubber stamps, fingerprints, tires
Intaglio • Opposite of relief • Areas below the surface hold ink • Intaglio Italian word “itagliare” – to cut into • Cut or scratch in surface with steel or diamond tipped tools • Printer daubs plate with ink then wipes the surface clean, leaving ink in only etched areas • Damp paper placed on ink plate; paper picks up ink
Engraving • Lines cut into polished surface of the plate with a burin (engraving tool) • Takes strength and control
Drypoint • Similar to line engraving • Artist digs line into soft copper or zinc • Displayed matel leaves a burr, or rough edge, when printed, leaves a blurred line
Etching • Preparing metal with acid • Ground - resistant material that covers the copper or zinc • Draws through the ground with tool, exposing the metal • Etched lines are more easily produced • Aquatint – etching process used to obtain shaded areas in black and white or color prints
Screen Printing • Use squeegee; paint; cut outs of plastic
