Lascaux | Tusche soft ground effect — 500 ml, 500 ml
Lascaux Tusche soft-ground effect is slow-drying and viscous. It produces effects similar to the soft ground used in traditional etching. Using this method soft non-printing drawings may be made and impressions of fabric, leaves, feathers and other collage materials may be taken.
The tusche can also be used for a broad range of painted marks and can be drawn into with paint shapers and other tools. The diluted tusche dries to create granular washes. Dry marks can be re-wet and altered
Lascaux Tusches are a unique range of innovative ready-to-use water-soluble painting materials specially designed for acrylic-resist etching, solar plate printing and traditional printmaking methods. The tusche marks will ultimately print. The ready-to-use tusches are for making opaque autographic (hand made) marks on printmaking positives. Images can be painted on smooth PVC sheet or grained surfaces. The tusches can also be used to enhance and alter images on photographic, digital or photocopied positives.

TIPS! The tusches are coloured for easy identification and may be intermingled within an image.

Painted washes should be allowed to dry undisturbed. A warm fan or warm printmaking drying cabinet will speed up the drying time.
