I printed the second colour on the new linocut, a cool grey to define the shadow areas on the sunlight face of the crag. But then I stalled a bit, unsure of what to do next. Do I print the first green or blue for the sky and stream. After some deliberation I decided to go with the blue. Mainly because I wasn't too confident about how the stream was working, so printing the blue at this stage would mean less wasted time if I ended up scrapping the print.
I printed the blue in two bands; one across the top and another across the bottom, leaving the centre area clear. This will have a pale green printed across it which I don't want to have to print over the blue if I can avoid it.
