Dry Point

A printmaking process that is usually used on copper plates using pointed tools to etch a design into; however, in my experimentation and for purposes of expense, I was to use thicker acetate paper as a substitute to the copper plate and a pointed metal tool as the one to etch out my design.
Drypoint, in general, only creates a few exceptional prints, because of the material getting so worn down because of the constant etching and the holding of ink within the cracks.

Drypoint was originated in the 15th Century by the Master of the Housebook. His prints were pure drypoints with the use of combining other processes. Rembrandt, a more recognisable figure, often placed dark accents in drypoint to his etchings. One of his celebrated pieces, The Three Crosses, was completely made by drypoint.
Below is my drypoint etching experimentation. It is clear that there are so many ways one can dry point , but with my stencil design, there is not much to it. I did some experimentation but this process is more of lines with empty space. This process could be used as a background.
