Aquatint Aquatinting uses acid to remove an image from an etched metal plate. It differs from simple etching in that a powdered substance called rosin is added to the substance into which the image is carved.
The rosin is baked to set it on the matrix, and can then be scratched or burnished away to create tonal variations on the surface. Acid exposure is varied to affect separate sections differently.
