Planography is any printing technique in which the non-printing areas and printing areas are on the same level. Planography is based on the principle that water and oil do not mix but will attract substances and that both will adhere to a porous ground. The different kinds of planographic include lithography.
Lithography is the original planography technique that has been devised in Germany by Aloys Senefelder in 1978. Lithography is a favorite technique among artists because the image created is not on paper or canvas, but it is on a lithographic stone or metal plate.
Screen printing is a planographic technique that is different from other techniques because the image is created by the apply stencils to a silk or cotton mesh – the screen often gives a look that is dissimilar to collage.
Printmaking is a field you can explore for life, and learning planographic lithography can help build identification skills. There are several types of planographic lithography. These include chalk manner prints made using a wax crayon to draw the image onto limestone. Chromolithography is recognizable based on the painting of multiple colors on the plate.
Tinted lithography is created by two plates, one of which uses distinct individual background strokes of tinting to provide the background color's image. Transfer lithography isn't shifted directly from store to paper, but from transfer paper to the store itself, and this means that the image should not be drawn in reverse initially.
