New Ways of Colour Print Making by Krishna Reddy

This straightforward, comprehensive reference on the art of colour printmaking by Krishna Reddy, one of the world’s greatest and most innovative printmakers, gives us rare insights into the workings of the medium with its complete formulas, lists of materials and equipments, and step-by-step instructions. It is an indispensable guide for the lay reader and the artist at work. An outstanding innovator and experimenter, Reddy sees the plate as a sculpted surface, and intaglio printing as a three-dimensional process. By varying ink viscosity and roller density, he has achieved colours of extraordinary complexity on the plate. His discovery of the principle of colour viscosity has greatly simplified technical processes while at the same time increasing the expressiveness and intensity of the image. This first-time ever publication demonstrates simply the inner connection between the artist and his materials.
