Making a lithographic print
To make a lithographic print, the artist first draw the image on the stone with grease based lithographic crayon.
The stone is treated with a light acidic bath to fix the image and soaked in water.
The water is absorbed by the stone only in the areas not coated with grease and repelled by water soaked background areas.

• Paper is placed on the stone and the pressed gently with the roller for the image to be transferred onto the paper.
• Remove paper after the image is transferred.
• Allow it to dry.
