SO many steps, difficult to believe this was invented to make prints easier!
can't get enough of this clip. awesome! it's like a lovechild of chemistry and art.
I'm kinda curious to see how the hell the process was even conceived to this modern way.
lithography is a printmaking method that has been largely replaced by aluminum plates. It used to be the premiere choice of printing for many types of marketing. Once the stone plate has an image, that plate can produce many, many more identical prints than a wood block, which will wear down over time. I saw a set of circus posters done on plates over 50 years after they were made - looked like color laser prints. Once photographic technology arrived, lithography processes altered dramatically.
how on earth did they work this out..??!....trial and error..?
This has been a genuinely entertaining video, it kept me smiling all the way through.
Low key this is like asmr to me
Thanks for such a clear, easy to understand video about lithography!
Wow, what a good and instructive video. I just love to see artists working like that. Pure art!
This is incredible. I never knew there was so much to this method.
I just purchased my first stone lithography art and I did not know until I reached home and searched for the artist and his biography. It was from a boutique in Lund, Sweden that is about to close. I was looking for modern art to decorate my house and the purchased item catches my eyes. I know it was a fine work of art and I had a bargain. Actually, it turned out to be a Bruno Bruni’s art.
awesome... I have searched and searched the internet to find a good example of lithography. Thanks !!
someday I have to do that. it's so cool and has such a potential to make an artistic or decorative piece with real quality.
I love Lithography. Taking another class next month
Thank you. Clear and concise to give a first idea about the process. Motivating to emulate in this craft. I would like to know more now and explore the more modern way of transferring images onto the stone. Such as with the negative of a photography. And also to use other support for the etching than lime stone.
This is SO AWESOME!! I would love to learn how to do that!!
This makes me appreciate MC Escher even more
Lovely demonstrations! !!
What a wonderful process. I would love to do that.
That was awesome; so explicit. Thank you
Thank you that was very interesting, my father always talked about litho printing but never explained the detail.
i am wrting a test tommorow about this. Helped me alot, even though i am learning this in Greek.
Printing images to paper and be able to reproduce that printing over and over again without losing quality, before modern printing tech this was the only way to reliably make large numbers of similar printings like posters, newspapers, magazines etc.
Thanks for the video! I was looking for something that explained how some of MC Escher works were made. Thanks very muck!
What a magic stone! It absorbs both water and oil! It's like sponge!
awesome, loved this...thank you so much.
Excellent explanations and video!
Very helpful! I read all about the process but coulnt quite understand it until I saw this video thanks.
thanks for this super informative video!
fab vid and presentation. big ups n thanks
I just finished reading Susie Hodge's "The short story of art" and came here to understand how lithography is made. Great explanation, thanks!
After years of admiring Escher, now I LOVE him even more.
So complex, so difficult, so beautiful.
Erm, probably quite costly too, but worth it in the long run, I suppose!
Magical. Simply magical.
Thank you!
awesome video clip!
Very good video!
Very usefull! Thank you.

Very instructive. : )
Awesome man
Fascinating
Amazing.
Nice!
when buying old books
makes me wonder how books with color and graphics were made before digital
How many prints before having to re-ink the stone? Are stones reusable? Or once they've been used for a print they are etched forever?
Nice video thanks! Wouldn't you roll up the image in 'non dry' black before applying the etch?
Is the process the same when you do it on an aluminum plate instead of a stone? BTW, thank you for sharing, this is a great video! :)
Really good video
Cool man..
Howdy! - My father gave me a lithograph stone that belonged to my grandfather - it appears to be made of granite ( i am not sure) It has white blotches, faded white blotches and what appears to be tiny white lines - how can I clean this without fading the image. thank you in advance for your speedy reply
I see artists offering lithographs of their original oil paintings. How are those prints marketed as Lithographs? The original is not on a rock,it's on canvas or board.
What a wizardry just happend 🤣
I like Crayola KRANS!
what a process..
Litography, mother of the modern printing industry...
I am wanting to do something that looks like lithography drawings for my AP art portfolio, can anyone recommend any artistic practices/medium that could get a look similar to lithography?
Can you do this without an expensive press?
i know that usin a computer is the main choose but you could not draw that mutch detail and then get that same image printed thats why people still uses this process
How strong was the etch?
what is the purpose of lithography
Great :)
Remarkable. I really wonder how all the trial and error with all the various chemicals and substances ever came about. This goes back to the early 1800s if I'm not mistaken. Wow!
PS: Great video!
Thank you I just wanted to know what a lithograph was. "Based on the Greek words stone writing, lithography originally used the immiscibility of oil and water to produce prints" Google's unsatisfying answer.
Oh by the way this guy could definitely sell this knowledge, we didn't need to know that much, it was like an apprenticeship.
So this is very thorough & well done but I still don’t understand how any of it works lol
holy duck!
Besides the drawing, I don't see this process as art. I see it as following and mastering a process - a much more rigid and scientific way of thinking. I've always found printmaking to be very confining artistically.
굿굿
how much does something like this cost artists?
How is the stone made to be so flat?
i am a new artist, 43 yrs old, and have found out that I might have the 'x" factor. Kinda weird, I was just doing sketches, and coloring them in, I have a real artist friend that does amazing life like portraits in oil, and he tells me I have the thing. Ok, so, now I have all kinds of things to think about, but this video, so educational, makes me want to try different things.
This is how my signed Lithograph by Lorde was made?? Tea
I literally looked up this video because I ordered the same one and wasn't sure what a lithograph was LOL
Omg I'm literally here for the same reason
what did he say licotine ?
This is crude simple printing from stone - chromolithography is far more amazing!
oh for heavens sakes just shove the dam thing in a zerox phhhhhhhhhhh
Only the drew part of the stone can wipe ink.
Water and ink....
All the modern offset printing machines works on same principle.
Anybody here from reading Walter Benjamin’s Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction?
Interesting process. Just one correction, though: it is impossible that touching the stone with fingers would leave an image because of "grease from my skin", as he put it, because there aren't sebaceous (oil) glands in the palms and fingers, so no grease will come off of them. Maybe he meant sweat, because the hands do have sweat glands. Just sayin:)
who is here cuz of a school assignment
what. how. when. WHO.
This video is a 10/10 in presentation and information.
The Yoko Ono screams video is a solid 0/10
escher
too much science for an artist
I had an interest in lithography until I saw this... to many steps smh
why didn't ur hottie helper appear more visibly on the video,
she shy or somethin? i know im being a hotdogger...sorry
