Original Cancled Intaglio Plate

Essentialy a collage on hardboard, these paintings were used as printing plates  to produce the original collagraph prints shown in the Original Painting section of this site.


Each piece was painstakenly created by first covering a gessoed piece of hard board with silk organza. A sketch was then drawn on the surface followed by a light to dark break down of the image.

Then begins the build up of thined out acrylic gloss medium on the areas that need to be lightened. Depending on the number of layers of varnished applied to vareious parts of the image they become lighter and lighter.

Marble dust modeling paste and various textured materials are applied to the areas that require a texture.
