STAGE GRAVURE - l'aquatinte
When: 07.09.2026 00:00
Where: 48.888393, 2.362589

Aquatint is an etching process that allows the production of effects comparable to wash on a metal plate thanks to a grainy coating with resin powder resistant to the mordant, allowing the creation of different shades of gray depending on the biting time of the acid on the plate.
This workshop focuses on deepening and understanding the different stages of the aquatint technique. The transparent superposition of several successive aquatints, each with its own biting times, allows us to greatly expand the spectrum of values from white to black, passing through all the subtleties of gray engraved on the same plate. This progressive search for deep and nuanced blacks in wash characteristic of the aquatint technique invites us, while remaining in engraving, to a gestural practice close to that of a painter.
Materials:
Each participant must bring a copper plate of 20 × 30 cm as well as at least two projects (drawing or photo) in the same format as the plate. You need to take into account that this image will be reversed at the time of printing on paper. So think about mirroring your project. Finally, if you want to keep your original drawing or photo intact, make a copy because you will be required to draw on it in order to transfer your drawing onto the plate.
