LITHOGRAPHY

I did Lithography last year, but I've just finished a workshop to recap and learn some more techniques.

ROLLING STONES
A simple three colour image to start, drawn from a famous band photo.

JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS

Another three colour print based on the old 1963 film by Don Chaffey - amazing film! With this print we were using the three primary colours yellow, red and blue, but lithography inks are slightly transparent so you can layer them to create new colours. I was really trying to crack this and gain the full spectrum (orange, purple and green).

THE WOODS

The final print we did was a 'reversal', which is a surprisingly long process to print the positive and negative areas of the drawing in seperate layers. However it does mean you can play around with the registration of the layers and off-set them slightly, as I did in the red print.
