Description
So they have an entire section devoted to traditional printmaking, eh??? Now that's fancy.Manyhow, this be my very first lithograph evar. Is done on a stone and was just the litho pencils. It turned out OK, but i dun feel bad because it was my first after all. Of course, the actual finished piece has a border, but it didn't look so good scanned. I guess you have to see the yummy edges and things. Anyhow, I cut the border off and this be it.

This is a scene that I love seeing in movies because it makes me feel calm and peaceful. Glad to see it drawn, you did a good job. A little sharpness would add to this.

Nice textures. The water looks a little chunky, though, especially coming out of the spout at the far left. I like the contrast between all the different directional lines in the image.

Amazing! I love the detail and the back/white colors. Hmmm, this reminds me a lot of Batman's home city or something out of a comic book.

This is.... wow,this is great. Can't really say much more than that. It's just very striking.
The textures of the image are quite nice, adding to the effect of the image. The water falling from the spouts is beautiful in the way it creates that dark effect.

Ooh, nifty.. but erm.. what's litho? I mean, like, other than what it acutally is.. lithograph or whatever..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's a type of printmaking you do on a stone (or a photo plate, but I like stone much better-- more traditional) based on the principles of similar attraction between polar and non-polar substances. Soooooooo, you have your stone and you make it all clean of grease and flatten and grain it so it's all nice and smooth and then draw on it with greasy pencils or crayons or a greasy wash. Anything greasy will do, then you go through a series of etches to set it in, then you print and whilst you print you put water on, or your stone would get all covered in printing ink. You see, the etches made it so that the blank stone gets wet and repels the greasing ink, and the lines and whatever else you made role up with the greasy ink. It's a rather complicated process. I always wonder to myself, "who the heck came up with this anyhow!?!?"
