Lithograph 5: The Tribute Stone | Saira Sheikh (1975-2017)
The Etching: Just Gum Arabic Vs Acid
This particular stone is purely etched in just Gum Arabic and no acid has been used for darks or lights. The result being, the Xerox lines and Crayons showed up beautifully, the tusche; however, did not make the much anticipated appearance.

This is not the end.
