All the runners and crowd (drawn with coloured pencils and pens) have been individually cut out and stuck down with blue-tac. Next I will experiment with layering different coloured relief inks to see if I can get all these colours (or as many as I can) with just five layers of lino..
First of all I'm going to experiment with different blues. This is Pure Blue which I've never used before. I've started with blue as I like to print the darkest colour first.
Here are the 'swatches' of layered ink I'm starting to build up. Next I'll be printing red over the top of these blue strips to see what colour it makes (hopefully some lovely purples..)
