Question

________ is a printmaking technique where the artist uses an oil-based crayon to draw directly on a stone plate and then wipes water onto the stone. When ink is rolled onto the plate, it adheres only to the drawing. The print produced by this method is called a ______.

Answer 1

Answer: Lithography

Explanation: This printmaking technique is a technique of drawing, for example, a greasy crayon drawing on a stone. In addition to stone, other materials such as aluminium with greasy backing can be used. The fact that when the stone or other surface on which the drawing is drawn is greasy, the water and grease do not mix. Thereafter, the ink applied or rolled onto the substrate remains in the drawing only, i.e on the contours of the previously drawn greasy crayon.
