Printmaking paper, white lacquer paint, calcium carbonate, graphite, chalk, tissue paper<br>
<br>
This is an old piece I did when I was at university back in the late 1980s. It is made by laminating pieces of printmaking paper together to make a stiff surface about 4-5 mm thick. I made a drawing ground of a thick paste from a mixture of white lacquer paint and calcium carbonate which was spread over the paper board surface. This paste dries quickly. I then sanded it smooth. This drawing surface makes for very fine detail and other marks that can be scraped and scratched in the ground. I learned this from an artist by the name of Wulf Barsch.<br>
