Learn the versatile art of lithography and explore its expressive potential
This practical book explains how to create and print your own lithographs. With clear step-by-step sequences, it explains the full process that depends fundamentally on water not mixing with grease.

This book is an invaluable reference as you explore the beautiful and expressive potential of one of the oldest printmaking techniques.
