Close Ups of Litho Prints



These are some close up shots of my last litho print. I did a "weird wipe" to get the shadows and give depth and context to the image. I was really pleased with the way these prints rolled up and printed really easily. I pulled about 10 good prints from this image on my stone.

My experiences in Lithography Printmaking





Litho has been a challenging experience for me, but I've learned a lot. By the end of the semester in the shop, I finally felt like I got control of what I was creating and made that connection with my stone, and of course right when the semester is over! I hope to continue with my litho some day...but for now it's back to drawing. Back to the basics!
