5. Aquatint
   An intaglio printmaking technique, used to create tonal effects rather than lines. Fine particles of acid-resistant material, such as powdered rosin, are attached to a printing plate by heating. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath, just like etching. The acid eats into the metal around the pa...

6. aquatint
   PRINT made by an etching process invented in the 1760s that enables several tones of varying intensity to be produced. Tiny particles of resin are dusted onto the metal printing plate and fused on by heat. Areas not to be printed are coated with a special varnish. The plate is exposed to acid which bites into the exposed metal, producing tonal area …

13. Aquatint
    A print produced by the same technique as an etching, except that the areas between the etched lines are covered with a powdered resin that protects the surface from the biting process of the acid bath. The granular appearance that results in the print aims at approximating the effects and gray tonalities of a watercolor drawing.

19. Aquatint
    A process used in etching creating tonal and textural marks. The process involves dusting the etching plate with a fine rosin powder which is then heated up so that it adheres to the plate and is resistant to acid. This creates a microscopic mottled effect on the plate when bitten in acid which creates tone when the plate is inked up and printed.

20. aquatint
    An intaglio printmaking process in which value areas rather than lines are etched on the printing plate. Powdered resin is sprinkled on the plate and heated until it adheres. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath. The acid bites around the resin particles, creating a rough surface that holds ink. Also, a print made using this process.

21. Aquatint
    `Aquatint` is an intaglio printmaking technique, a variant of etching. Intaglio printmaking makes marks on the matrix (in the case of aquatint, a copper or zinc plate) that are capable of holding ink. The inked plate is passed through a printing press together with a sheet of paper, resulting in a t...
