I



I chose these images in particular due to the beautiful use of colour. The difficult thing about finding work online is that you are unable to tell how it was printed unless stated next to the work. I presume This is lithographic printing or digital although it would be hard to produce the various sharp greens that have been printing in digital. So, move than likely it shall be lithographic.
I still have a lot to learn!
