Even with limited time available this morning I decided to mix up the 2nd color of this reduction linocut. Didn't take as long as expected so I decided to pull a test print and it actually turned out pretty good so I decided to see how it looked printed.
Worked out pretty well and I'm very happy with it. I did notice some thinning of the lines after the 5th print so I ran a print of simply newsprint in order to remove the excess ink. I then went in and wiped down each of the lines to make sure that they were clear of ink. I had to do it again after the 10th print and managed to print all 12.
Now I get to carve away the rest of the small neon tubing and prepare for the next color which I believe will be a slightly darker grey for the shadows of the tubing and possibly some other areas which I'll need to evaluate before carving.
