Engravings in black or sepia

Using chisels with triangular edges, the design is cut into a steel or copper plate. The pattern is thus created in hollow form with its full, thin strokes and precise lines .

There is no "repentance" . The artist must have absolute control over his gesture and the force of his pressure; his chisel removes with each stroke a shaving of metal corresponding to the value of the line, whether filiform or bolder.

The particularity of the burin is to collect the ink in the hollow of the line . The complete plate is inked then carefully wiped so as not to leave any ink on the flat parts. The moistened sheet of paper is placed on the plate and powerfully applied by a press. The ink is transferred onto the paper, which, by flexibility, is returned to the hollows .
