These are 2 intaglio prints I completed in class, with the plate I used to complete the pieces. To do this I used a lino plate and carved in a line drawing of the stump of a palm tree. After this I used block ink to cover my plate, with a roller. When completely covered I then put the plate with a piece of paper through the printing press to get the two coloured pieces that can be seen in the photo. The red intaglio print is more successful than the maroon because it is less patchy and it looks more velvety. These pieces were my first attempt at intaglio printing and overall they are quite successful for a first attempt. In the future I know to experiment more and maybe add more colours to make the pieces look more professional and complete.
