To etch the surfaces with the etching Picasso has decided to dissolve the varnish with cotton
of essence soaked: difficult method to be used which allowed him to obtain new shades and a
effect "bouffant": this "trick" appears for the first time in the recordings (like this one) who made the
16 May.
