Lithographs

Return to Home Page

Here is a selection of lithographic prints made by Helen McLoughlin.
Lithographs are printed on limestones or metal plates. The process was invented in 1798 and is based on a physical separation of the inked (oily) and the uninked (wet) surfaces. The preparation of the limestones is a lengthly and complicated process, which involves a chemical reaction that takes place on the stone. Many artists have been attracted to this method as it captures with accuracy the tones and images made by the artist.
