• Aquatint — An artistic printmaking process on metal plates (copper or zinc) related to etching, used to achieve wash effects, granulated textures, and velvety modulated tones of gray or color; also, it designates the print impressed via this technique. This structural style relies on dusting a fine resin powder (rosin) onto the matrix, which, after heating and controlled acid corrosion, creates nuanced areas.
