Subject: [Baren 44161] Touch Ups
Send Message: To this poster

Over the last few months that I've belonged to this list, I've
wondered about 'touching up.' There was a couple of references to the
practice and I wondered about the practice. Is it common to 'touch up'
a print? To what extent is it considered okay if ever or is it
considered a not so good thing. When I say touch up I mean filling in
a missed spot or something little, not a major overhaul. I've noticed
also that there's artists who add the color via a brush (as in
watercolor or guache) after the print is pulled. Would like to know
more about how that effects the nomenclature of the work. Does it then
become a monoprint or some kind of one-off?

Thank you.

I am a toucher upper for sure, if i can fix a little spot I will
because paper isn't cheap! As far as adding brush work I call those
prints "hand colored". if i use the same colors i still consider it an
edition if i vary the color i will add VE to the edition numbers. i'm
not sure when they become monoprints but i am sure everyone has their
own ideas about that. I am personally getting tired of the whole
editioning practice and am trying to get away from it somewhat maybe
someday i will stop all together.

I could have written Viza's response. I feel the same way. Paper is expensive, so is my time, and, if a touch-up can save a print, I'm all for it. I did a blog entry

on exactly that (May 5, 2006). I can't get the link to work but if you click on the picture you can see that it was a horrible pull. I find blotting the print with old newspaper and the baren takes away any shininess.

At the time I was using oil-based ink. My son has been wearing some of my t-shirts for 6 or more years without any fading.

I will touch up using the ink already on the print, ie I get a bit of blue tack or a soft rubber and touch the print with it and touch the spot that needs covering, I find a little touch up is almost undetectable. I should add that I do this with oil based ink prints.

Carol.
This sort of depends on the artist...some are purists and would toss a print that did not match the edition, others might "fix" it a bit.
I think the rule of thumb is that it should not be obvious...if you can see it, maybe it is a reject.
My best
Barbara

The material is listed as 'savon de Marseille' ... which I believe is
a type of soap.

Would butter work, do you think?
