At the start of the day -
 |
| Blocks tweaked to bring in more white |
 |
| Earlier prints (two versions) |
Each of these had been overprinted to try to get a deep and even colour -
 |
| Cyan gouache, with a little viridian hue mixed in |
First try with the second block was pale on top of the splotches -
 |
| Indigo, looking quite black! |
Splotchy block with the indigo re-inked - a bit better, but still an example for me "how not to print" series -
I'd been using "the shoebrush" to apply the colour, and switched to using it to apply nori - that worked a lot better, in fact in overprinting it got rid of the splotchiness. Also I thinned the paint quite a lot, and made consistent brushstrokes, lightly, before printing -
Back to the indigo "curls" - definitely not deep&even enough! I didn't want to risk misregistration so instead of inking the entire plate, I did it half at a time -
At the end of the day -
