Lilypads - Test Printing


Lilypads - 4x6 - 6 Color Reduction test print

Printed the first color this morning for my Lilypad test print.  I'm considering a larger (18x24) print of an entire lilypad pond from an image I took at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens.  Since I've never done flowers before I figured I'd better test it out first.

I was also looking for a way to utilize my water-based Speedball printing inks which I don't touch very often due to the speed at which they dry out on me.  Hoping that since the weather is cooler they won't dry out too fast, but will dry out fast enough that it'll only take a week or so for me to finish the entire print.  The yellow is of course not accurate on the bottom...it's much lighter.
