Southerness Lighthouse. 6 Colour reduction Linocut. 257mm x 170mm. Edition of 5Got the final colour printed, although lost three prints along the journey. Two of them through sloppiness on my part in positioning the paper in the registration marks before printing. With the third print I got distracted and left the paper on the inked block too long and ended up sticking it to the lino! I did cheat with the railings though and brushed them in afterwards with a No 1 watercolour brush.

I prefer the stronger colours in the acrylic version. Did you plan to make this less saturated.
No, I printed the blue too pale, I should have reprinted it darker but I left it as it was, and then printed the brown too dark. So there isn't enough of a contrast between that and the black. Another lesson learned!
