This is the definition of aquatint: (Go to Wikepidea for more)

Aquatint is an intaglio printmaking technique, a variant of etching that produces areas of tone rather than lines. For this reason it has mostly been used in conjunction with etching, to give both lines and shaded tone.

Or, If you meant acquaintance, It's like a person you just met, or someone you don't know very well.

Hope this helps!

Answer: Aquatint is a printmaking technique that creates areas of tone on a metal plate using acid. It involves applying a powder or spray to the plate that protects certain areas from the acid bath. The longer the plate is in the acid, the darker the tones will be. This creates a range of tones that can be used to create shading and effects in the printed image.
