The artist began using this illustrative technique as a student at Carnegie Mellon and continued to use it while working as a commercial artist in New York during the 1950s. Blotted line enabled Warhol to create a variety of illustrations and is characterized by dotted, broken, and delicate lines that were often finished with watercolor dyes or applied gold leaf.
