The image is drawn directly onto a flat slab of limestone,by using grease crayons or special inks. The slab is then inked. The ink will stay on top of the greasy parts, and be absorbed by the not greasy parts. The image is then covered with damp paper and gently presure will create the printed image. Four stones are needed to create a full colour print, the three basic colours and black.
Lithography allows the artist freedom of line and fine detail.
Also the effects which occurs by using pencils, crayons or even chalk are still visible. The image is chiselled in relief onto a flat piece of wood. If the artwork requires different colours, several separate woodblocks are used. Each piece is inked separatly, and one by one carefully printed on one sheet. In the silkscreen technique are areas blocked out on a screen through wich paint is pushed.
