Hacer una litografía es pensar en las posibilidades que técnicamente puede darte.  Técnicamente, no tiene nada que ver ni con un óleo ni con una acuarela ni con un gouache ni con un dibujo ni con un grabado.  Es otra cosa.  Y estas posibilidades hay que apropiarlas y entonces, pues, expresarlas, creando un tema or una composición pensando en lo que puede dar de sí.

To make a lithograph you have to think about the possibilities that it offers technically.  Technically, the lithograph has nothing to do with either an oil painting, or a watercolor, or a gouache, or a drawing, or an engraving.  It is something else.  And you must appropriate its possibilities and then express them, creating a subject or a composition in relation to what the lithograph can do.
