Light from Dark – Burnished Aquatint

Friday 6 December 2024
10.30am – 5.30pm

An intensive 6-hour workshop with Roberta Feoli

Burnished aquatint is an etching technique that imitates mezzotint, replicating its aesthetic qualities and image-making process. We will create a rough, dark surface from which, using tools like the scraper and burnisher, we will bring out lights and shadows with highly effective tonal results. Remaining faithful to the less-toxic approach in Printmaking, we will use an alternative method to the traditional aquatint resin.
