Excuse the wrinkles--I need to press this one. 1st Lith attempt--I can see why so many people enjoy it!

I need to do more reading about controlling the grain--I know it can get tighter/more smooth.

Looks great. I like the chunky grain

Nice first attempt. I like the grain, but Bob Carnie gave me a tip on how to minimize it in lith. He recommended flashing the paper. I never wanted to get rid of the grain so I never tried it!

This is superbly done. Very nice indeed.

Like your other first try : that's good.

Very well done, and I like the wrinkles.
From my limited experience, an easy way to control grain is to find the right paper for your taste. When I want grain, I use Kentmere warmtone, otherwise I use Fomatone MG (that's with EasyLith, I haven't used other lith developers).

Until I read your description, I didn't realize those were wrinkles. I thought it was color variation. I like it the way it is.
