Printmaking is a learning process



Well this morning I printed the second color of my lilypad reduction print.  It didn't work out like I thought.  I was thinking that since I was adding white to the blue that it would make it opaque enough the cover the very bright yellow that was my first color.  I was very wrong....or perhaps it just doesn't work that way with water based inks.  Since I was not crazy with the outcome, I tore down new paper and started over (minus what would have been the yellow parts =/ ).

The bottom image is the newly reprinted lilypad in light blue.  This was the same blue that I tried to cover the yellow in.
