Final layer of colour: I used a near-black, mixed from ultramarine, cadmium red, and cadmium yellow, adjusting the proportions to suit the underlying colours.

The thing that I like about these prints is that I managed to keep the early layers very pale, which improves the contrast with the dark later layers.
The things that I don’t like are some not-very-good drawing in places, and too many “Why did I cut that?” moments.
On with the next prints…
I like doing linocuts. I did at the uni some years ago. I can’t do now because I have no studio but maybe sometime…
I love these two pieces! The second one is especially beautiful.
Well done!
