Print artwork that relies upon the water-repellant properties of oil-based inks.
An image is drawn onto a metal plate, typically with an oil-based crayon.
The plate is rinsed with water and the image repels the water while
attracting special lithographic inks that are applied with a roller.
The inked image is then transferred onto paper, creating a rich
deeply saturated quality in the artwork.
Many plates are used to create a lithograph
as each color or part of the image requires a different plate.
