Frequent Art Questions

  • What is a lithograph?

    A lithograph is a type of printmaking process that uses a slab of limestone that is treated with acid or "etched: to make certain areas repel and attract oil based inks.
    You may have heard of "offset lithography" which is used to print large volumes of texts. Many artists however have adopted this printmaking technique for its unique line quality and the ability to make multiple identical prints fairly easily.
