Michael: Reduction linocut, stage 6 and 7

Stage 6: Blue shadow for the wall that goes all the way across the picture.



Stage 7: Spot the difference.



As soon as I had printed all of stage 6, I realised I'd forgotten to put on all the blue that I needed. So stage 7 has just a bit more ink (nearer the top of the image).

Michael: Reduction linocut stages 4 and 5

Two stages for the price of one.

Stage 4 has just a slightly darker green at the bottom of the image.



Stage 5 has a darker green over the rest of the picture.



Can anyone identify the subject yet?

Michael: Reduction linocut, stage 3

Next layer has a gradient from blue-green down to yellow-green.

Michael: Linocut, stage 2

Another layer of colours; fingers crossed that they're not already too dark.

Michael: New print

Here's the first layer (though there's not much to see yet):



To get some variation in what will be beds of flowers, I inked the block in selected places, using different colours. (Which works well -- apart from when you've finished, you realise that you have five rollers to clean...)
