 In 1978 Peter Palvik began receiving instruction in lithography from print shop manager John Rose, and later with visiting Winnipeg artist David Umholtz. His preferred technique of drawing directly on lithographic stones allows for an accurate translation of his meticulous drawings depicting naturalistic subjects and landscapes.

Palvik’s drawings include a multitude of details. Lithography, with its immediate translation of the artist’s drawn line, allows Palvik to achieve precision in his own work. He particularly enjoys depicting animals in naturalistic settings.
