An etching or engraving process focused on creating tonal variations rather than linear affects, which gives the appearance of a watercolor. It is often used in conjuction with line etching. Aquatint is created by acid biting into a metal plate and involves putting granular resin over the plate, creating the design, and then immersing in acid. Tonality is achieved by repeating the varnishing and immersing. Artists in Aquatint at FineArtSurrey include Ann Le Bas and June Berry.
