What is Drypoint?
Drypoint printmaking utilizes a sharp-edged fine tool to create scratches over a surface. When ink is applied overtop and wipes free, paper is layered over and the 'scratched in' design transfers over. This technique is also labelled under the art form intaglio. This is different from Linoleum relief in that ink sits in the grooves, not the surface of the design, which is what transfers onto your finished, repeatable art piece.
