Lithography. 2011.

This my Lithograph that i did in november. It was my second attempt at Lithography. We got more into the technical side of the process this time I found it really interesting and pretty intence at times. Still lovely all the same though. :)

 Drawing stage..

 I used touch to draw on the stone to get a softer effect. I used a combination of light, medium and strong to create a range of tonal qualities.

I tried a pooling method to try let the touches blend together better. I really like the way the touch looked on the stone before printing. It had a nice sepia effect.

 I printed an edtion of eight prints from this stone. I was happy enough with the outcome but if I was to do it again i'd spend more time blending as the dark bits were too dark and the light much too light...

 I printed a couple off center as to add to the print with inks or water colours to experiment and see the outcome.

I really enjoyed this prosess and can definetly see myself having another go in the future. :)
