Original à modelé continu [...] La retouche à l'aérographe joue ici un rôle important. L'aérographe, en pulvérisant des solutions fluides de gouache ou d'encre noire ou blanche, produit des dégradés, des transitions douces. En employant des pochoirs, des caches, on obtient, même d'après une épreuve floue, des images d'une plastique frappante. 2, record 2, French, - travail%20%C3%A0%20l%27a%C3%A9rographe
