INK WASH PAINTING

CONFIDENCE IN THE DESIGN DIVISION IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE

Printmaking (Ink wash painting) is a type of visual art that falls under the category of visual graphics instead of applied graphics. Printing is the act of indirectly (as opposed to drawing directly on paper) making images (shaping) through printing processes, that is, bringing color from a printing mold (made of wood, stone, rubber, or metal) onto the surface of the picture, which can be paper or fabric.

Fuji, Mountains in clear Weather/Red Fuji – a work from “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji”, colored woodcut by Katsushika Hokusai

Utagawa Hiroshige, Katsushika Hokusai (Japan), Albrecht Dürer (Germany), Nathaniel Currier, and James Merritt Ives are among the masters of graphic art in history (USA)... Unfortunately, our country's designs and paintings have not been adequately explained in order to arrive at an appropriate and universal phrase. Only names that are close in meaning or indicate it can be used to describe this art form, such as easel graphics, stand-alone graphics, print graphics, graphic paintings, printed graphics, etchings, and prints... These terms apply to artistic graphic works conveyed through the mold-making and printing processes.

Monotyping by Dina Haddadin

A graphic work can be printed by one or more different prints. The making of these prints is called prepress. There are four plate-making techniques: emboss/relief (woodcut, linocut...), indent/intaglio (engraving, etching, mezzotint...), flat/planographic (lithography, monotyping, digital printing techniques), and transparencies/stencils. The division of the above four types of prepressing techniques depends on the impact of the print (the printed part) on the picture.
