The rosin is acid resistant and typically adhered to the plate by controlled heating. The tonal variation is controlled by the level of mordant exposure over large areas, and thus the image is shaped by large sections at a time. * Another tonal technique, mezzotint, begins with a plate surface that is evenly indented so |
