 Stone lithography  Emerging,  Materials used,  included litho crayons, soft and hard, greasy liquid or stick  tusche for washes and pencils. I’m just starting out with this, using basic materials like rubbing sticks, crayons, lithography pencils, and tushes. My inspiration comes mostly from life drawing, but I’m more interested in getting the hang of working with stone. I don’t care if it’s a masterpiece or not, I’m just having fun! Detail
