Beautiful video of the lithographic printmaking process, but the complete absence of any audio or textual description of what is being shown greatly diminishes its educational value.
10 chemicals or additives are used. There are plenty of other videos on youtube that *could* help you if you are attentive enough to pay attention. 1. Drawing Material 2. Talc Powder (White) 3. TAPEM (Tannic Acid Plate Etch Type Solution) 4. Neutral Sponge 5. Cheesecloth 6. Lithotine, a turpentine solvent with pine oil additive. 7. Vegetable Oil to help the plate take ink. 8. Deep Etch V Lacquer Solution to encourage better plate printing life. 9. Asphaltum, a sticky resin that snaps off when ink is applied. 10. Water, to dissolve gum barrier during printing.
Interesting, beautiful and a wonder that you can just keep on oiling and inking then inkling and oiling just a little more...nice to see the 21century rush hasn't reached your studio.
Nice demonstration and great litho press. We all have our own methods. As an experienced lithographer I would add paper or blotter over the printing paper. Also I would not use the wood spacer bar as I deem it unneeded. I can understand that people unfamiliar with the process would want a verbal explanation.
Very good video as a priming video to let people get interested and fascinate those who do know about lithography. It's a very good video with a delicate drawing to go with the plate.
Tremendous Lithographic process instead of stone.... Here I am making my Lithographic prints using the same plate but not processing by the same toxic reagents..... I am doing with non-toxic mediums … Xerox-Toner drawing on transparent plastic film and transfer on plate by light additively and plate develop by silicon glue.... printing without water .. this process called Waterless Lithograph. Its most easier like your process.
Hi Chris benson. 2 questions please. 1)So basically a lithographs is copy and paste right? Or similar to the printer? 2) if an artist/painter do that example but with a painting (oil on canvas) then how do the 2nd copy (lithograph print) comes out?
This is great, but even as someone who knows what's going on, it's tough to follow because there is no rhyme or reason to what you're doing. My friend just saw this with her own eyes and said it could've been magic for all she knew because how this all happened makes absolutely no sense. I agree. There needs to be more explanation, even if it's just a description at the beginning of the video.
glad i skipped through most of this. pours a mysterious chemical on, rubs it in, pours another mysterious chemical on, rubs it in, etc., a roller then put into a mysterious machine. gee, so informative... i guess....

My thoughts exactly john
Did anyone else get massively anxious when he put the blue stuff on & it turned the entire piece black?
So you used about 30 different chemicals and explained 0% of the process....

read a book
I wish our professor would teach this. I'm a printmaking major and she refuses to have a lithography class.
Watching that process and the perfectness and caring that is taken to do this, inspires me. I wish I could participate in doing this...

Why would you choose this over screen printing? Does the print have better detail than a screen printed image?
I have absolutely no idea what is going on here 😂
A sound track would certainly have been helpful.

I wonder what it's like to be this skilled at something
what skill? lol. i mean, really, what was so skilled about it? :)
What is that solution in the bottle? What does it do?

Fascinating to watch this - I'd like to ask how you managed to create the lettering at the bottom of the print? Is this hand drawn also?
This is relaxing just like Bob Ross.
ASMR!

Beautiful, but this must be the most elaborate way of printing
Nice .... it's very long process but interesting video
It's important the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice.
What was the media that you were drawing on?
A ball-grained aluminum plate. The plate reacts to phosphoric acid.
Sugio...please communicate with your viewers, they deserve your comments and questions to be answered.
Why do you deserve it?
Was the paper template dissolved?
Yummm!!! Such a good feeling!
Thanks for a very instructive video!
Please name all the solutions and also what are their role?
is this stone or metal lithography?
Not stone or metal.
Material?
cool, now i now how they made my bloodborne poster
I thought acid and such were handled when doing a lithograph, and so imagined you'd need to wear gloves. Nope, guess not.
بسیارعالی
Fascinating
Chemicals k use or name to btaiye... wo to btaye nahi ?
I thought the stick was going to stay in there hahaha ok now do this with wordzzz
so is lithograph made of thin paper or???
A lithograph is a print created through the use of a lithographic process.
Amazing!!! :D
love it
Your not saying what you are doing or what materials you are using
AWESOME!

I'll explain later.
Great job, I wish I lived those days...now we just press a few buttons, nobody is getting dirty hands anymore...no fun.
Nicely done
Great video but an explanation of some sort would really be useful!
Doesn't what your putting on the artwork ruin it?
Thought he "Mr. Bean"d it at the 3:04 mark
A little explanation might have been an idea
glad i skipped through most of this. pours a mysterious chemical on, rubs it in, pours another mysterious chemical on, rubs it in, etc., a roller then put into a mysterious machine. gee, so informative... i guess....
👌👌❤ 👍 ✌
Wow
Magic
NO idea WTF he is doing!
Watching it was OK but you need to tell what’s going on- dummy-If I knew I wouldn’t be watching the damn video
You are a dummy. Be thankful that he showed you this.
for those looking for an actual EXPLANATION with visuals:
th-cam.com/video/r3GcVtOCKx4/w-d-xo.html
Totally useless video. No explanation of process, chemicals, time, reasons.
