The overprinting quality created by two colors overlapping to produce
a third is probably best seen to advantage in prints by the
Planographic Direct Lithograph process. This together with the freer
painting approach that the process allows makes it arguably one of the
most exclusive printmaking methods of them all. After all the
processes described above, three metal colors - gold, silver and
bronze were added using a silk-screen printing method. Powder was
used to soften their effect.
THE PLANOGRAPHIC DIRECT METHOD LITHOGRAPH.
The artist/Lithographer uses Sticks of transparent grease or special
transparent inks to draw directly onto the plate. In this
Planographic Direct Method Lithography, this process was done twenty
seven times, each color on a separate plate. After the drawing and
subsequent processing, the plate was dampened with clean water from a
sponge and acid free printing ink was applied in the printing machine
to reveal the image on the paper. This second process was also done
twenty seven times.
