      abstract = {"Magical secrets are quickly grasped. They open doors to  fresh ways of seeing and understanding. Artists use  aquatint, a form of etching, to create delicate washes,  velvety blacks, and intricate layers of color impossible in  other art media. In this book, the third in a series about  etchings, Emily York discusses 46 aquatints by 32 artists,  with special attention to fascinating sequential works by  Richard Diebenkorn and Al Held. Emily York is a master  painter at Crown Point Press, a publishing workshop where  artists have been creating etchings since 1962. She ties  processes directly to art, and with clear writing and  abundant illustrations explains the aquatint processes of  spit bite, sugar lift, soap ground, and water bite. She  also details steel-facing and multiple-plate printing, and  gives step-by-step instructions for making your own  aquatints. Anyone who cares about art will enjoy this book,  and anyone who makes etchings will find it indefensible.  The included DVD demonstrates the processes, and the  accompanying website provides ongoing information about  printmaking."--Publisher's description.},
