Soft-ground

Submitted by administrator on
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Soft ground is a tallow- or grease-based etching ground that never hardens and is sensitive to the pressure of a drawing instrument. This method can create more subtle effects; a heavier mark results in a darker printed line. 

Excerpt from
Emily Schiller, Visions of America exhibition gallery text, 2016.
