Artwork description:

This lithographic plate was inspired by a stepping stones over the river Swale near Reeth in Yorkshire.
This is the polyester litho plate from which a very limited edition was printed, and no more are being produced from this image.
Once a print run is finished the plate itself is a reversed image of the prints. It often has marks and textures resulting from the printmaking process, which I particularly like as it adds the depth of the image.
Polyester litho is a thin paper-like plate with a coating one side that resembles a stone surface and can be printed from using relief ink.
It was printed with oil-based relief ink and hand embellished with a light layer of water-based ink.

This original plate comes backed onto board with a window mount.
