Aquatint

Japanese: アクアティント
Aquatint
A type of etching copperplate invented in the 18th century. Resin powder is sprinkled on the plate, heated to set it, and unnecessary parts are protected from corrosion with varnish or other coatings before being immersed in an etching solution. The acid penetrates only the gaps between the grains, creating matte spots on the plate's surface. The plate is shaded differently depending on the time of etching and the density of the powder sprinkled on it.
