    Hi Art! You were my professor at Wesleyan college! You told me I was suffering from “ masterpiece syndrome “, lol! You were absolutely the best teacher and I enjoyed learning from you!!! I’m a plein air painter now…..I had a terrible injury and I’m still trying to cope with that. Love what you are doing…amazing! I live in Taos , New Mexico…..

      Lorraine;
      Thank you so much for your kind comments. It sounds like I was pretty rude to say you were suffering from “masterpiece syndrome” but I guess I should know, because I suffer from the same aspirations and sense of grandeur. I am so sorry to hear of your injury but inspired by your plain air painting. I would love to see some of them. I also find inspiration in working from the landscape, plain air drawing. All my best wishes to you and yours. New Mexico is wonderful!

    Thanks for the information. I recently bought a mezzotint and read that the artist generally worked about 500 hours on a piece of art. Now I understand how and why!

    I bought a lot of mezzotint rockers second hand Lyons and Serak). Most of them in very good / perfect condition. One rocker however is missing some teeth on both sides of the row. Can I do something about this myself?
    BTW, I bought a mezzotint you made in 2020 "Anima-Animus" in the Epreuve d'Artiste gallery in Antwerp.

    Nice videos, well presented and informative. What is your opinion on mechanically roughening the plate; or an aquatint ground?

    • @artwerger
      @artwerger  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you! I do work on pre-rocked plates made in London. They are very good and my elbows can no longer take all the abuse of rocking large plates. I also do a lot of aquatint. When making aquatints, I try to achieve all of my values through the stage biting process. I prefer not to rework (scrape and burnish) the aquatint at all. Check out my video artwergeraquatint to see the stage biting process

    I was thinking of getting a press, do you think a 5inch drum will create enough pressure for a mezzotint?

    I just wanted to say I’m in awe here. I started watching the video just for curiosity, as I have never heard of mezzotint and wanted to understand what it is and how it is done, and was amazed by the whole process. I wonder how long it takes you do complete a piece like this one? It is so detailed and intricate.
    Beautiful work! 🫶

      This one took about 6 months and I have spent as much as a year one one 24” x 36” mezzotint. But I also have done many small ones on a one-a-day schedule. Over 500 total…so far.
