This sketch is a study of a small detail from one of his intaglio prints, for which the copper plate was engraved, gauged out to create white areas, and etched using a needle, soft ground, and aquatint. That wasn&#8217;t enough, however, because the artist also scraped and burnished the plate to achieve the desired final result. My attempt to emulate Lasansky&#8217;s image included the use of various pencils, oil pastel, and conte crayon, but doesn&#8217;t do the original justice in terms of form and depth of tone. Still, by trying to sketch it, I learned just how much detail and variety Lasansky worked into the plate. What you see here is supposed to be an abstracted horse&#8217;s head, but my proportions are off, and so I&#8217;m not sure it looks like much of anything but shapes and patterns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day three hundred and fifteen: On Friday afternoons we&#8217;ve been hosting a printmaking class in the study room.
