Aquatint. The special granular effect of the ground is applied by either dry or wet methods. In the former case, the plate is placed in a bitumen powder cupboard in which a fine dust of the powder is whirled about and allowed to settle uniformly on the upturned surface of the plate. This dust is melted by a heater under the plate. The size of the granules depends on the time which passes between setting the dust in motion and laying up the plate in the cupboard, and its density on how long it is allowed to remain there. 1, record 21, English, - aquatint%20cupboard
