Drypoint over Collagraph: Whale & Mermaid & a new printmaking tutorial video)
Whale & Mermaid 9×6 Collagraph & Drypoint on BFK Rives paper |
I’m experimenting with different flavors of printmaking layered one over the other. This sort of thing has been done for many years, but I couldn’t find details relaying methods that worked well together, or the proper inking and sequencing, etc. My fledgling assumptions for the first attempt were these: layering planes of flat, very transparent color under delicately scribed darker detail might be effective to pull a full color print, inspired by early 1900 illustration art.
So, here is my first investigation – Whale & Mermaid: an under-print from a mat board collagraph, inked in transparent color – via a la poupee, with an overprint from a plexiglass drypoint for detail & texture. I documented my progress on a video (linked below).
Have you layered various methods of printmaking? Woodcut over silkscreen? Drypoint over aquatint? If so, what have you found that works best, and what should we all avoid? Please share in the comments.

I’ve posted a brief video of the process used to make this print on my youtube channel. You can watch the video below. (If you get this blog via email or rss, you can see it here.) Be sure to Subscribe to my channel for upcoming watercolor & printmaking videos, and if you like the Whale & Mermaid demo, give the video a thumbs up! Thanks!
