AQUATINT (Lat. aqua, water, and tincta, dyed)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 239 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
AQUATINT (Lat. aqua, water, and tincta, dyed) , a
kind
  of
etching
  (q.v.) which imitates washes with a
brush
 . There are many ways of preparing a
plate
  for aquatint, the following being recommended by P. G. Hamerton. Have three different solutions of
rosin
  in rectified
alcohol
 , making them of various degrees of strength, but always thin enough to be quite fluid, the weakest
solution
  being almost colourless. First pour the strongest
solution
  on the
plate
 . When it dries it will produce a granulation; and you may now bite as in
ordinary
 
etching
  for your darker tones, stopping out what the acid is not to operate upon, or you may use a
brush
  charged with acid, perchloride of
iron
  being a very good
mordant
  for the purpose. After cleaning the plate, you proceed with the weaker solutions in the same way, the weakest giving the finest granulation for skies, distances, &c. The process requires a good deal of stopping-out, and some burnishing, scraping, &c., at last. Aquatint may be effectively used in combination with line etching, and still more harmoniously with soft ground etching in which the line imitates that of the lead pencil.
