Sugar Lift

Sugarlift is painted onto the plate, let dry; plate is coated with ground; dried, then immersed in warm water.

The sugar particles expand and lift off the ground exposing the metal, which is then aquatinted.

Very sensitive it will print a finger print.

Same product as used by Hockney in “Rake's Progress” and Picasso, in his “Bullfight” series.

Simply dilute with water to a painting consistency and paint onto aquatinted plate.
