I wanted the drips to print better- so I
decided I had to add an aquatint. Where I make my plates I used to be able to
use the old fashioned type of aquatint where you use rosin which is heated onto
the plate to give it a grain. Since the facilities moved to a shiny new building
some of the old methods have been supplanted by the new- aquatint being one of
them.
So now ‘aquatint’ is sprayed on from a can.
It feels a bit clunky by comparison- often the old ways are the best.
This is proof of the plate I made
