Hi Picki,
Hi Lins ,

Silkscreening starts with a picture or a stencil process but the person doing the silkscreen process is not necessarily the same person who made the picture/stencil. Colours are added one at a time using various screens. You’ll often find that silkscreen images use only very few colours. 2, 3 or 4 for example. I don’t think this is a hand-coloured lithograph because the paint is evenly distributed within the black lines and does not spread beyond the edges as is the case with lithos that are later hand-painted. Take a close look at Currier & Ives lithos for example. The earliest ones were hand-painted the colour spreads beyond the images.
