I figured out that the plate chemistry for #kitchenlitho is working fine, but my ink is so tacky that not even mag could save it.

Tried a coworker’s rando tin of relief ink and with some mag it rolled up heavy and scummed up the plate.

Washed it out and tried again without great success.

So the ink is the next challenge. Something not too sticky. (I was practically spray-coating with water, and would still fill in the water parts..)

Here are a couple aluminum foil plates from last night’s #figuredrawing session. Excited about trying some #kitchenlithography #kitchenlitho #printmaking
Will start with the 2 worst drawings to get a feel, and then try the contour portrait and the reclining pose.

I’m experimenting with kitchen litho on aluminum foil! On Thursday I took a great online workshop & managed to make a very small edition of wolpertinger* prints. It’s tricky but also extraordinary to get detailed prints with household items like aluminum foil, vegetable oil, cola and water.

I tried different papers & printed them by hand with glass baren & wooden spoon. It’s a lot of elbow grease!
