4/15/2019 0 Comments Process Post 16Instead of doing six prints I decided to do four, not only because each took time to cut out, but I realized that for each individual print I needed to cut out more than one sheet of linoleum in order to get the proper layering of the colors. Despite this, I'm pretty happy with how the prints are turning out so far, especially with me only using a couple colors. I have been painting on the ink, which may have caused it to be a little thick on some of the prints, but I found this was easier to make the gradient effect that I wanted than using a brayer, especially as I had only cut out a few linoleum sheets. Also, I plan to do more experimenting with two layer prints, as I had forgotten that I had cut out the sky in most of my prints and didn't want a white outline around each of the pieces of the scene. For now, I am leaving them to dry.
UPDATE: I printed the double layers the next morning and found that in some spots the colors were too dark to be seen clearly. I'll do some more experimenting soon and try something new I think. UPDATE UPDATE: I decided to print some using my car, per Coach's idea, and I think they turned out better than me printing normally. I was pretty excited to try this way of printing and was not disappointed.
