About this process

Aquatint in etching is the means in which varied tones are applied to the surface of the plate, in order to create various tones on the print itself.

These tones are achieved through a series of incrementally bitten (or etched) dots into a chosen matrix.

This technique is usually a follow-on technique to our Hard Ground (Line Drawing) course, but can also be used as a stand-alone process for creating a tonal print from scratch.
