介绍（中）	这张前景为灌木丛和树木的湖泊景观，远处为低地平线的景色是亚历山大·科森斯（Alexander Cozens）所说的墨迹的一个例子。艺术家从脑海中模糊的图画想法开始，然后用粗毛笔迅速将黑色墨水冲刺并涂抹在一张纸上。整体构图是在印迹开始之前设计的，但细节要依靠手和刷子的快速和倾向性的意外运动。以这种方式制作的污点将被重新加工成更精心绘制的景观。这种技术的目的是激发艺术家在构图想象中的风景时的想象力。Cozens在他的两本出版物"促进发明Landskips的论文，旨在为艺术学生准备"（1759年）和"协助发明绘制原始景观作品的新方法"（1786年）中描述了印迹技术。
介绍（英）	This view of a lake with bushes and trees in the foreground and a low horizon in the distance is an example of what Alexander Cozens called an ink blot. The artist began with a vague pictorial idea in his mind and then quickly dashed and smudged black ink onto a sheet of paper with a thick brush. The overall composition was intended before the blot was begun, but the details were meant to rely on the swift and tendentially accidental movement of the hand and the brush. A blot made this way was to be reworked into a more carefully drawn landscape. The purpose of this technique was to stimulate the imagination of the artist in composing imaginary landscapes. Cozens described the blotting technique in his two publications "An Essay to Facilitate the Inventing of Landskips, Intended for Students in the Art" (1759) and "A New Method of Assisting the Invention in Drawing Original Compositions of Landscape" (1786).
