Mezzotint is a printmaking technique used to create rich, detailed images with a range of tones from dark to light. It involves roughening a metal plate with a tool called a rocker to create a textured surface. The plate is then inked, and the ink is wiped off the smooth areas while remaining in the textured areas. This process allows for smooth gradations of tone and deep, velvety blacks. Mezzotint is known for its ability to capture fine details and smooth transitions, making it a popular choice for high-quality art prints and portraits.
