Collagraph using Recycled Cardboard Printed Intaglio Style without a Press

While we were all staying in, I posted a series of printmaking experiments using common items from around the house. I never posted this one – a Collagraph using Recycled Cardboard Printed Intaglio Style without a Press.

Recycled Packaging Prints without a Press Roundup

• Here is a post that demonstrates an intaglio drypoint etching made from recycled plastic produce containers, printed with a metal soup spoon, painted with watercolor and enhanced with chine colle.

• This post was an experiment to see if I could successfully make a drypoint etching portrait from a Trader Joe’s Biscotti cookie lid, and then print it by stomping on the plate. (Hint: it worked!)

• Here is an intaglio collagraph print of a cat made from a recycled Mango popsicle carton.

• Make a small monotype portrait print using cardboard, tin foil (aluminum foil) and tube watercolors.

• Create a small portrait drypoint etching from a recycled tomato container, and paint it with watercolors.

• Paint a tiny image on a plastic blueberry container with thinned acrylic paint, and press it to paper to make a monotype print.

• Create a multi-figure full color collagraph print using TetraPak soup or almond milk containers, and then enhance it with colored pencil (this one did use a press).

YouTube for Artists

You’re invited to attend this online event: Thursday, Feb 23, my friend @lorrainewatry_watercolor and I will be talking about YouTube for Artists in a zoom panel at @mastrius.official 

Lorraine and I are both Mastrius Mentors, and we both have painting and printmaking demo based YouTube channels.

Lorraine and I have had art-related YouTube channels since 2009 and 2007, so we’ll share decades worth of insights. Drop a comment to let me know if you have particular questions you’d like us to answer. Here’s where you can sign up to attend.

We’ll be sharing pros and cons, revenue, exposure, cross promotion and All the Things related to YouTube for Artists. Bring your questions, and a friend. Also, have a look at Lorraine’s amazing watercolors to see some skillful and inspiring work.

Until the next post, thanks for stopping in, and have a creative week!

P.S. Lorraine’s YouTube channel is here, and mine is here.

Lay hold of today’s task, and you will not need to depend so much upon tomorrow’s.
