Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Aquatint is a printmaking technique used in intaglio processes to create tonal effects, not a watercolor painting technique.

• Watercolor techniques: Methods like masking fluid, wet into wet, and wax resist are integral to watercolor painting.
• Purpose: These techniques help create textures, gradients, and highlights effectively in watercolor artworks.
• Difference: Aquatint is specific to printmaking, while the mentioned techniques are exclusive to watercolor painting.
