6th. 13th, 14th April - Experiments with colour on 2 stone lithograph

Added colour onto editions of 2 stone print below

Using multiple pieces of cut varnished card as per blog 27th March I experimented with colour -monoprinting 13 different colours using lots of extender mixed into the ink to give the appearance of a glaze or watercolour wash.

These photos show the inked pieces of card placed face down on the print, the whole lot was then run through an etching press to transfer the coloured ink. The different areas of colour were added in stages requiring multiple runs through the press.
I experimented with lots of colour combinations but in the end preferred the variation shown below. I printed 4 of these but made careful notes and swatches of the colours used so that I could try to replicateit again.
