an aquatint by Picasso
A key plate was prepared, usually made of steel and using any combination of engraving, stipple, etching and aquatint.
He used a variety of media drypoint, etching, aquatint, pastel and watercolour and, as his skill developed, so did his reputation.
He used oil, acrylic, tempera, pencil, ink, charcoal, monotype, drypoint, lithography, etching and aquatint, and painted on several materials, like posters and porcelain.
Normally, copper or zinc plates are used as a surface or matrix, and the incisions are created by etching, engraving, drypoint, aquatint or mezzotint.
Some of his drawings were published in aquatint.
Rops often combined soft-ground etchinga technique practiced by few artists of his daywith mezzotint or aquatint, and sometimes added hand-coloring to his plates.
This mammoth journey resulted in 139 aquatint prints being finally published, the last completed in 1821.
He became the leading maker of multi-plate colour prints, combining washes of aquatint with line-engraving.
