ETCHINGS BY JUDY DIMUZIO



	Etching uses an Intaglio method in which lines are incised in a metal plate by acid. The surface is covered with an acid-resistant ground that is scratched to expose the lines to the acid. Aquatints are also used to make different tones on the plate. Aquatint tones are obtained by powdered rosin or paint spray. Acid bites these tones into the plate to various depths, deeper bites yielding darker tones. Ink is forced into incised lines or recessions on a plate, the surface is wiped clean, dampened paper placed on top, and paper and plate run through an etching press to transfer the ink to paper the image is then in the reverse.
