"M" Neon Lino Reduction


This is an update on the "Neon M" Linocut Reduction print that I'm working on.  I'm using Akua Inks on a 250gsm printmaking paper.  As the layers have started to build up I find I'm having issues getting the ink to lay down nicely.  The red color of the print is not nearly as vibrant as how the camera is seeing it.  I'm assuming that the printed grey for the neon tubes is finding it's way through and thus taking away the vibrancy.

I'm gonna keep pushing on with it though to see how it finally turns out.  2 colors to go...a dark semi-transparent grey shadow and black.
