Abstract

A combination of the etching and aquatint techniques were superimposed over relief color-printing giving this linear medium a painterly effect. The above process was also used with the woodcut producing a most pleasing effect. In both the woodcut and etching techniques, the relief process was found to be preferable for color-printing, while the intaglio process was employed exclusively to produce the linear quality. Line and artistic, compositional design treatment are definite functional characteristics of both media.
