Despite the “aqua” in its title, the aquatint process does not involve water. It was invented in the mid-eighteenth century to simulate watercolour drawings. With aquatint one can capture a complete tonal range from a hint of a tone to mid-tones to shadows and darks. Aquatints can be airy like those in the etchings of Paula Rego to velvety like those in the etchings of Pablo Picasso.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #7d7d7b; font-family: expressway, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: inherit; color: #000000;\"\u003eAquatint is made by a dense collection of tiny grains melted onto the plate and functions as a porous ground; each grain or clump of grains becomes an island that protects the plate, which the acid will bite around.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #7d7d7b; font-family: expressway, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: inherit; color: #000000;\"\u003eThe most common means of applying the grains is with an aquatint box, made for creating and containing a rosin dust storm. After the dust storm is created, the plate is slipped into the box to collect the grains as they fall. Then it’s taken out and heated to melt the grains for them to adhere to the plate once cooled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #7d7d7b; font-family: expressway, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: inherit; color: #000000;\"\u003eSpitbite aquatint involves, painting directly onto a rosin-covered plate with ferric chloride to achieve gestural tonal gradations that seem to be similar in appearance to ink washes and\/or loose watercolour marks.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; color: #7d7d7b; font-family: expressway, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Local Vendor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47742403215581,"sku":"georgina-gratrix_the-exes","price":10350.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/7261\/1293\/files\/gg_the-exes-detail_1_1_1_2636f573-2da5-4d66-a4c0-f43289e57846.jpg?v=1775563113","url":"https:\/\/latitudes.online\/products\/the-exes","provider":"Latitudes Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
