Second impression adds promise
Above: A second colour added to a new print previously illustrated here.
A second plate with 'dry' graduated ink applied to it has produced subtle results as shown in the details below. Where the new colour overlays the previously printed colour, it looks solid and flat. Where the colour overlays previously unprinted paper, the 'dry' graduated thin ink on the roller alternately brings out the soft texture of the specialist paper or assumes a deeper tone.
Close-up details showing the soft textures characterizing hand printed fine art prints.
These subtleties are one of the distinct characteristics of hand printed fine art and can be seen in many historic original prints, especially those from the Grosvenor School (UK) which produced a wealth of sort-after fine art linocuts during the 1900s.
Update: See the early and final stages of this original print.
