What is the meaning of aquatint?
1 Answer
Aquatint is a printmaking technique named for its resemblance to watercolor or ink wash. This practice is often combined with etching to create rich tonal variations. It’s a similar process to etching but the resin ground is more granulated, so the acid handles the metal differently. Different degrees of darkness are created based on the amount of time the plate is in contact with the acid. Find a collection of antique and vintage aquatint paintings on 1stDibs today.
