Here we prep our plate for silk aquatint. This is a process that's great for printmakers stuck at home who don't have access to their normal printmaking equipment. I made this video for my etching class as a substitution for our regular aquatint project.
If you have made a silk aquatint before please let us know in the comments.

If the paint is too opaque you then add more paint? What if it is too transparent though?

I love the idea so am intrigued as to what this will look like. I love Mezzo and Aquatint, but the mess and expense is a little off putting. I do enjoy Gel plates and Kitchen Litho and screen printing, so am curious how this here technique compares to the outcomes that are possible.

I still haven't tried this so your video is a great 'push' for me to do so. ........... Having seen you apply the mesh to the matt-board - I am thinking it will be best if I take an iron and smooth out the wrinkles first as that will make that part easier.
