In this video I demonstrate how you can create some really cool Chine-collés using objects and textures as well showing the ultimate successful way of using Chine-collé in your printmaking! In traditional printmaking, chine-colé is a technique used to create prints with multiple colors.
A piece of paper is printed with a black ink, and then another sheet of paper is glued on top. The two sheets are then cut apart, and the resulting print has multiple colors. This same technique can be used in collagraphs.
By printing a piece of paper with a ink, and then gluing another sheet of paper on top, you can create prints with multiple colors. This can be a great way to add interest and depth to your collagraphs.
