<p>[QUOTE=&quot;User 67, post: 8236, member: 67&quot;]I have done A la poupée<i>, </i>Aquatint and water color. From the images provided, I am having a hard time discerning the technique. Usually in A La poupée some of the color ink seeps into and mixes with the line color and it is damn near impossible to fill only the lines in a plate that has used <i>both </i>etched lines and Aquatint, like this one would have to. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d want to look at those areas with a magnifying glass for tell tell signs that the line and color mixed to an extent. Of course this can be mitigated with viscosity. And the yellowed paper doesn&#039;t help.</p><p><br /></p><p>But the coloring does have characteristics of Aquatint and I just noticed blue in the plate mark. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it is Aquatint it&#039;s more likely that they used two plates an etching for the lines and for the color an Aquatint wiped A la poupée.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I look at the odd clouds, they seem to be created by the rag wiping the plate rather than by intaglio.&nbsp; This could just be A la poupée without any aquatint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
