When I'm working on a print like this I usually aim for a colour a day. If there is not much carving I can sometimes do two colours but I usually like to leave the print 24 hours between colours, even though I'm using waterbased inks which dry quickly. It gives me time to think about what I'm doing between colours.Stuart Brocklehursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01901116311000910745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2995742646070974482.post-76843020635857191992011-12-04T20:59:52.404+00:002011-12-04T20:59:52.404+00:00I wonder why some pieces seem more arduous than ot...I wonder why some pieces seem more arduous than others, or don't flow as normal. I've stopped trying to puzzle it out, and generally try to work through it, like you, but it can dampen the spirits and cause frustration. I'm not sure any of it shows in the final artwork, and if you hadn't said, we wouldn't know - but it is nice to be part of knowing, makes the final print more personal, knowing you persevered and more special for the effort.Jennifer Tetlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216669559770468403noreply@blogger.com
