aquatints
Grainy tonal prints
Aquatints are prints made using a technique that creates tonal effects resembling watercolor washes.
The process involves treating a metal plate with acid-resistant resin to produce areas of varying texture, which hold ink to different degrees.
The term also refers to the technique itself: The artist worked primarily in aquatints and etchings.
