Description

Learn the versatile art of lithography and explore its expressive potential. This practical guide explains how to create and print your own lithographs using clear step-by-step sequences. It covers everything from setting up your studio, mixing inks for edition printing, and alternative techniques such as Lo-shu washes, negative drawing, transfers, and Manière Noire. Discover the full range of processes involved in lithography, including stone lithography, ball-grained plates (aluminium and zincography), and photoplates. The book also includes recipes for mixing etches, processing chemicals, making tusche, and creating alternative drawing materials. With its up-to-date approach, this guide is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to explore the beautiful potential of one of the oldest printmaking techniques.
