- "The process art consists of black line-drawings, black halftones, and full-color washes. The black line is prepared and photographed separately for greater contrast and sharpness. The full-color washes and black halftones are prepared with watercolor on the reverse side of the black-line drawing. They are then camera-separated and reproduced as red, blue, yellow, and black halftones."
