Etching is a printmaking technique that involves using a chemical process to cut into the surface of a metal plate, typically copper or zinc. The artist coats the plate with a waxy ground, draws an image into it, and then immerses the plate in an acid bath, which etches the exposed lines. After the process, ink is applied to the plate, and it is pressed onto paper to create a print. This method allows for fine detail and rich tonal variations in the final artwork.
