How do you tell the difference between a painting and a lithograph?
1 Answer
To tell the difference between a painting and a lithograph, look at the piece's surface closely. A painting will usually feature variations in texture, color and line due to the fact that the artist who produced it applied paint by hand. Because a lithograph is a print, its surface will usually be smoother with more uniform lines and colors. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of paintings and lithographs.
