Limited edition of 20 lithographic art prints
Collaborating on a Limited Edition Lithographic Art Print
I’m excited to share my new limited edition lithographic print created in collaboration with master printer, Andrew Caruso of Galatea Editions. Andrew and I worked remotely (I’m in Ithaca, New York, he’s in Phoenix, Arizona).
This gorgeous archival fine art print is in an edition of only 20. Here is how we went about collaborating on the lithographic process…
Step one:
I painted various textures on drafting film. Rolled them up, and sent them to Andrew in Arizona, along with a picture of a collage I made last year as a guide for color and composition…
Step two:
Working with shapes cut out from the painted drafting film I sent, Andrew creates two plates to print from- one for each color…
Step three:
Once we agree on the perfect colors, Andrew rolls out the ink on with this giant roller. Each color is printed one at a time, with days of drying time between each color.
Step four:
Once all the colors have been applied, there are several more days of drying time- these archival oil based inks take a while.
Step 5:
Once the prints are dry, they need to be trimmed- Andrew carefully tears the edges, creating beautiful even deckled edges.
Final product:
