Spanish term

papeles velados

Spanish to English Art/Literary Photography/Imaging (& Graphic Arts)
A text about a contemporary Argentine artist who experiments with now obsolete analog photography materials:

En esta serie, un revelador vencido el que dibuja formas en papeles velados, a medias sumergidos en una cubeta, pero el azar sueña aquí con el paisaje, y de la rara alquimia de los despojos resultan horizontes claros, atardeceres pampeanos, ríos barrosos, mares o sierras lejanas, en la misma gama de ocres, marrones y sepias.

fogged paper

As my reference shows, velado has a specific meaning in photography. The paper is fogged by being exposed to light.
