Litho prints for end of the term! - Possibly Maybe & Clr Death Salmon
Possibly Maybe approx. 7 X 13 inches
Lithograph 1/5, used lithographic ink, crayon and solvent wash. 3 different layers of colour (1 rainbow roll).
Death Salmon (colour) approx. 13 X 6.5 inches
Lithograph 1/4, used a counter etch on original. 4 different layers of colour (2 rainbow roll).
For the fish I only managed to counter etch the black and white original image. Every other colour after that involved regrinding my stone and redrawing certain areas, doing a registration and printing over top of each layer. For the girl I just counter etched each layer of colour, erased certain parts and added more. As you can see the end result turned out light, and if I had reground my stone and did it like the fish print (I didn't have time to do this however) it would have turned out more solid.
