A form of intaglio, "etching" is often used synonymously with "intaglio." A metal plate (zinc or copper) is covered with an acid-resistant ground, on which a design is scratched with a variety of sharp tools. The plate is then immersed in an acid bath, and the acid eats away (bites, etches) the areas exposed where the resinous ground has been scratched away. The longer a plate has been left in the acid, the deeper and hence darker the etched areas become. The plate may be inked and impressions pulled from it, as above.

Aquatint

Technically, aquatint is a form of etching, using tonal values instead of lines. The plate is lightly coated with a powdered porous ground (such as finely-powdered resin, or spray paint), through which the acid bites, to give tonal effects like ink or water color washes. To allow for varying degrees of darkness, areas may be "stopped-out" with an acid resistant varnish at any stage of the etching, and the time may be varied in which areas of the plate are exposed to the acid. Aquatint is generally used in conjunction with etching
