Lithography- oil-based litho ink on paper
Lithography: chemical process; start by drawing image on aluminum plate with greasy litho crayon, prepare plate- use gum arabic on plate (establishes where water goes- the area other than image), use talc to etch drawing into plate, apply tapem (acidified gum arabic), apply another layer of gum arabic in thin and even layer, wash drawing with lithotine, asphaltum will be used to replace image area to create base for ink, wet surface of plate with water and roll on ink (continue alternating with water and ink), place paper on image, run through litho press

More Monoprints!! 🌼🌸🌱🌿
Trace: cover plastic plate with ink, lay paper on top, draw on back of paper (ink picks up only where you draw)
Positive/Negative: trace technique on one sheet of paper and remove paper from plastic plate, place another piece of paper on top of remaining ink on plastic plate, run through litho press

Oil-based litho ink was applied to a plastic plate with brayers and/or brushes; I used q-tips and/or rags to draw and to remove ink; paper was placed on plate and run through litho press
“Ghost images” are left on plate after first run through the press; produces a fainter image should it be run through the press a second time

Intaglio prints 💀🌹
Intaglio- draw image with needle on copper plate; apply protective coating to copper plate in sections depending upon your highlights and shadows (a process; apply layer, dip in acid- repeat with each layer to create darker shades); etch copper plate with acid (different amount of time in acid bath creates different shades); apply ink to plate and run wet paper on plate through intaglio press
