Polyester Plate Lithography

 

I am just beginning to experiment and learn about polyester plate lithography.  The printing is a lot like traditional lithography, based on the fact that oil and water don’t mix.  But the images are on a polyester plate rather than on a litho stone, which makes some of the process much simpler.  Pronto Bird and Confetti Foam are two of my experiments with this new (for me) printing technique. 


In both of these cases, a print was pulled with black ink after which I added collage and/or watercolor to the image.
