Contemplation Original Lithograph

Limited edition lithograph.

Lithographic images are created using oil-based materials which leave greasy residue on the surface of the stone's surface. The traditional materials used for lithography include crayons and tusche, but any water resistant material can be used.

Lithography crayons come in a range of grades, allowing you to build tone in a similar way to graphite pencils. 

Tusche is a greasy material that is dissolved in water to create washes which can be painted onto the surface, functioning in a similar way to watercolour paints.
