an artist uses a needle to draw a design on a metal plate coated with acid - resistant varnish. which type of intaglio print is the artist creating?\na. drypoint\nb. engraving\nc. etching
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
In etching, an artist uses a needle to draw on a metal plate coated with acid - resistant varnish. The areas exposed by the needle are then eaten away by acid, creating the printing surface. Drypoint involves scratching directly into the metal plate without the use of acid. Engraving uses a burin (a specialized tool) to cut into the metal plate, not a needle on a varnish - coated plate.
# Answer:
C. etching
