This 12-minute tutorial demonstrates the innovative "Lithino" technique developed by artist Mary Dalton, which combines lithography and linocut printmaking methods. Learn how to transform any linoleum block into a dynamic lithographic surface at any stage of the carving process, merging the fluid, expressive qualities of lithography with the crisp precision of linocut. Follow a comprehensive step-by-step process including plate preparation, applying tusche wash, lithography ink and crayons, using talc and gum arabic, inking techniques, proof printing, lino cutting, and creating multi-color prints. The video provides a complete materials list with purchasing links and features a detailed timeline covering everything from initial preparation to final two-color printing techniques.
