Some Renowned Printmakers
Printmakers use color to their prints in several options. Usually color in printmaking that involves etching, screen printing, woodcut, or linocut is implemented by making use of separate plates, chunks or screens or by using a reductionist approach. In multiple plate color methods, a number of plates, screens or chunks will be produced, each providing a different color. Each distinct plate, screen, or block will be inked up in a unique color as well as applied in a specific sequence to be able to make the whole picture. Typically about three to four plates will be made, but there are occasions in which a printmaker might use up to seven plates. Each use of another plate of color is going to interact with the color presently put on the paper, and this must be considered when making the separation of colors. The lightest colors will often be implemented first, after which darker colors successively prior to the darkest.
The reductionist approach to making color is to start with a lino or wood block that is either empty or with a basic etching. Upon every printing of color, the printmaker will then further cut into the lino or woodblock removing more material and then implement another color and reprint. Every single successive removal of lino or wood from the block will expose the already printed color to the observer of the print. Picasso is commonly cited as the developer of reduction printmaking, though there is proof of this technique being used twenty-five years before Picasso's linocuts.
