THIS PRINT WAS MADE USING WATER LITHOGRAPHY - KIND OF AN ARCHAIC PRINT METHOD. WATER LITHO USES A DRY VS. WET IMAGE MATRIX - DRY AREAS HOLD THE OIL BASED INK AND THE WET AREAS REPEL THE INK. SOUNDS STRANGE WELL IT IS. BUT COMPARED TO SCREEN PRINTING THIS METHOD CAN HOLD A REALLLLY TINY TINY LINE OR DOT PATTERN... AS FINE AS PENCIL SHADING. LITHOGRAPHY REALLY LENDS ITSELF TO THE PENCIL DRAWN LINE AND TONALITY.
