So WHAT is the Conbere-Schmid Method, you ask?
At the U of Minnesota, I taught students how to develop an etching using Charbonnel paste soft ground which is very sensitive but has very little foul biting. You can apply it on a 200F hotplate with a plain old speedball brayer (and some finesse), lay newsprint or tracing paper over it and draw into it with any H pencil (Jenny) or ball-point pens (Nick). Nick and I both also work a lot with digital applications, so we both figured out a way to use photoshop, scanned in drawings and borrowed imagery and to print out our compositions on tracing paper. It makes flipping the image very easy and you can also make complex compositions with a variety of drawings and scans.
