Aquatint was first invented in 1650 by the printmaker Jan van de Velde (1593-1641) in Amsterdam. The technique was soon forgotten until the 18th century, when a French artist, Jean Baptiste Le Prince (1734-1781), rediscovers a way of achieving tone on a copper plate without the hard labour involved in mezzotint. It was however not in France but in England where this technique spread and flourished. Paul Sandby (1731 - 1809) refined the technique and coined the term Aquatint to describe the medium’s capacity to create the effects of ink and colour washes. He and other British artists used Aquatint to capture the pictorial quality and tonal complexities of watercolour and painting.

INTRODUCTION With the possible exception of drypoint and engraving, all intaglio processes involve the use of some type of ground. Though this acid resistant material has many applications, it has but one primary function, which is to protect the plate surface from the action of the acid during the etch. The traditional hard etching ground is made from asphaltum thinned with gum turpentine and forms a hard, stable surface suitable for work with a etching needle or other sharp tool. Soft ground has had some agent added to it which prevents it from ever becoming completely hard. It adheres to whatever touches it and can be easily removed from the plate by pressing some material into the ground and then lifting it, exposing the plate in those areas where pressure was applied.

The acrylic and inkjet transfer paintings by Dan Hernandez intermingle the iconic imagery of European Renaissance and classical Asian painters with early video game design, portraying figures engaged in vibrant and energetic conflict. Despite the dramatic differences in media, visual style and subject matter, the works of these two distinguished area artists juxtapose like themes of science & technology with spirituality, as well as the combination of old and new media, to explore the metaphysical concept of the “otherworld”—the varying layers of existence between humankind’s experience of the “real” world and the world of belief. This combination creates an intriguing, thought-provoking and unquestionably beautiful exhibit. 1 Craig Fisher Toledo, Ohio Artist Biography Craig Fisher received his Bachelor of Arts in fine art from The University of Toledo, School of Design in 1976, following two years of additional study in The Netherlands at the Pascal College, Zaandam, North Holland.

  • INTAGLIO / Aquatint Maury | Fall 2019 an Aquatint Is an Etching with Tonal Passages That Resemble a Wash
    INTAGLIO / Aquatint Maury | Fall 2019 An aquatint is an etching with tonal passages that resemble a wash. An aquatint employs acid resistant particles to create an irregular dot pattern on the plate. The acid resistant particles can be applied using spray paint, rosin, or other acid resistant particles to create a random texture. Aquatint can be used alone or in combination with drypoint and etching techniques. Generally, aquatint is applied after an image has already been created with drypoint or etching to add tonal values to the image. But there are many ways to use aquatint, including applying rosin or spray paint on top of hard ground (before the plate is put in the ferric chloride bath). Note: You will print with less pressure for aquatints. Francisco Goya, Que Gerrero! (How Warlike!), 1877, Etching and burnished aquatint. A 50% coverage of the plate is ideal. too sparse just right too heavy 1 ROSIN Grains of rosin are dusted onto a plate, then melted slightly, so that the rosin can create tiny islands for acid to bite around. Aquatint provides a texture, or tooth, to hold the ink. Rosin can be applied by hand or using a traditional rosin box. Apply rosin by hand by placing rosin powder into a nylon and shaking it onto the plate as desired. This allows for a more variable application. How To / The Rosin Box: You will need to wear proper protective gear when using the Rosin box. There are respirators on the shelf nearby or bring your own dust mask. Rosin is dangerous if inhaled over time.
