6. Etching First a metal plate is coated on both sides with varnish, which is resistant to acid. Then the artist creates the image directly on the varnish by using a sharp needle to expose the metal. The metal plate is placed in an acid bath—the lines made by the needle (the exposed metal)--—is vulnerable to the acid which then “eats away” at this exposed metal By controlling the amount of time the metal is exposed to the acid, the artist is able to make either fine, shallow lines or heavy, deep lines. This process limits the artist to a certain extent, because an image can only be so big, because a printing press can only be so big. But this process also allows the artist to make corrections if mistakes occur. Finally, an etching is a form of art which allows the artist to make multiple reproductions for sale; the most valuable etchings are the first ones made from a plate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4edY2aXgbY&list=PLD75B37BA93C1139B&edufilter=- UYcvQGRLktRabtXL3Eq1w http://www.rembrandthuis.nl/index.php?item=123&lang=en
