Acid Tinting On A Lithographic Stone

Last year, I did a demonstration for my Intermediate Printmaking class at OCAD, on how to do acid tinting on a lithographic stone, along with handing out small hand bound instructional booklets.

My suggested layout for materials

Acid tinting is a really great way to achieve a painterly quality when working in lithography. It's a slow process as you gradually lighten each tone, and one that is very satisfying in the end.
