Way cool! Thank you for your time. Seriously I've seen prints on stones before, but til today I never had a clue what it was called or how it was done.. Sure is alot of work!!
Many thanks for producing this video! I had only a vague idea of this process so this video is extremely eye opening! I’m reading a book about Alphonse Mucha and appreciate his artistry and skill even more after seeing this. I imagine color lithography is even more complex?
@@robertloader9826Is it? Art is subject, subject, subject, then subject, then presentation. If it is worth it, the worth comes from the mind of a person crazy or dedicated enough to go through the rigamarole, not the actual thing. If they’re crazy with that regard, they’re probably crazy and anal about everything else in their piece. In terms of the historical era and their greatness, that’s just the blend of pre camera schooled classicalist artists suddenly having a camera and other wildly available reference images like other lithographs in print house.
@Meanderin to some people yes it's worth it. Do you get to decide if it's worth it for all people? What people enjoy is none of your business. It's a process that's existed for over 200 years and many people enjoy the process. So yes, it's worth it to them.
@@TheJpep2424 I mean things are always worth it like making sand castles on the beach as the waves crash,but from making a product for customers and living as an artist, that’s where the worth starts to be in question. The value and workmanship isn’t as apparent to the novice as an oil painting or marble statue, the buyer has to learn about the lithograph process to see the technical value like that. Then I said, the customer is going is buy the piece based on the subject no matter the art process. Like you can carve an amazing statue of Jesus, but if someone doesn’t want a statue of Jesus in their house, they’re not going to buy it.
@@MeanderingSlacker Main point you're missing is that the artist isn't really involved in the tedious process. Or do you, as a designer, need to be at the printers for every project? You need to know how it works and what options are at your disposal to create the work accordingly or push the limits of the technique, be it a lithograph or any other printing method. This woman works in a printing place with artists, she is not the artist.
Just to clarify, she is not using a traditional leather roller though she talks about one in the video. They are hand-sewn on wooden handles. She is using a rubber one that is normally used with color inks. You can look up the differences online with photos.
Awesome. So the acid burns everything in the background but the drawing, or the other way around? Does it lower the level slightly so the ink fills in? So many questions?
Stones can have the top most layer ground off using grit and a levigator! Then you can draw a new image on it and do a new print run. Alternatively, the stine with an image can be sealed for storage (protects the image) and reopened at a later time to print another run of that image
@@Tubeytime But anyway, if you're not happy about listening to such a opinion, since most people are modernists you're not just disagreeing with me, you are in love with the world as it is (assuming only). In a way, happy for it if that is the case since not many people are happy, so we are two minorities, yours at least in a good way. The other way around, you are then not happy or not much at least, but also not willing to discuss without tagging (with this unreasonably thing), just because It was something going the contrary direction. Thank you for letting me practice writing with you.

Only video online that I could find. Thank you from Texas!
Thank you for this. It helped to make sense of the whole process and really shows the amount of work that goes into this style of printmaking.
Exactly
This is one of the best descriptions I’ve heard thank you
who the hell came up with this
Alois Senefelder. He was a German actor who invented the technique initially to print musical scores in the 1790s.
Yeah right
Someone over 200 years ago.
Frrrrrrr
Me: "Wow, I wanna do lithography at home! Like in the good old day."
Also me after watching the video: "aaaalright, so click on photoshop... print..."
Way cool! Thank you for your time. Seriously I've seen prints on stones before, but til today I never had a clue what it was called or how it was done.. Sure is alot of work!!
I wished this was made during my first few years of art school
I feel lucky..
Wow very very specific
I wonder how they found these things out

Hogarth is my favorite lithograph artist!
I'm interested in how old photos were turned into line lithos for books.
Are you sure you're referring to real photos and not just well depicted illustrations?
It's called chromolithography. It produced *amazing* prints.
Great video, well explained and demonstrated. Thank you.
how this seems like so much effort as a designer I'm so glad we have computers now
It's worth it.

So interesting! Great video.
Amazing work, so talented . It's magnificent ❤ thank you
Rembrandt did these. I assume that he did them after he was established and he had someone else doing the laborious steps and he did the drawing....

It is funnily enough a terrible video that doesn't actually explain the process properly. That's not her job of course
So cool thanks for making this video! *thumbs up* indeed
How does those old litography prints have so many colors on them? It looks painted! When is the additional colors are added?
Very well done
So a lithograph is with a stone and an etching is with a plate? Thanks! 😃
very nice explanations . Thankyou.
Thank you that was super informative! Just the video I was looking for!
Super helpful and clear. Thanks.
This always blows my mind! Leave it to a debt ridden playwrite to figure out how to print his own stuff😂
Question: What do you do to the stone after you're done printing the image?
@RAST I assumed the OP meant, when you've pulled your final print - _then_ what happens to the stone? Or maybe she didn't...
Stones can have the top most layer ground off using grit and a levigator! Then you can draw a new image on it and do a new print run. Alternatively, the stine with an image can be sealed for storage (protects the image) and reopened at a later time to print another run of that image
It just stays there as a relic until (if) you want to use it again.
THANK YOU
Can we do first etch just after the drawing gets finished? Or the stone should be left for some hours?
So, an easy process?
I’m gonna get her to make me a perfect replica of the T206 Honus Wagner card hehe
Too much work I'll stick to crayons thanks
Just by her accent I can tell she knows what she’s doing and that she’s good at it to
the game of life brought me here
This is how movie posters were made in the 1920s?
Liverpool, Liverpool.
Liverpool Liverpool.
Liverpool Liverpool Liverpool Liverpool
😊
🤔👍👍👍👍👍👍
These modernists are everywhere, I'm done with it.
😅
What an unreasonably specific gripe!
@@Tubeytime ah ok, thought it was another comment section. Well, 仕方ないですね。

@@ryushogun9890 No problem!
The nose ring does not compliment...
dang, sorry you were distracted bro.
I have one just to deter people like you from speaking to me :D
This weird lady doesnt explain things clearly.. how does that stone retain those marks which were used by merely sketching on the stone?
did u even pay attention
I wish the video had a normal woman describing the process, her cow ring is so disturbing! She could at least remove it. She seems fine without it.
god forbid people express themselves
