Colour 7 is a dark brown for the shadows on the base of the cliffs and for a few patches on the beach to represent the wet sand left by the retreating waves.
Colour 8, a darker blue for the sea and top part of the sky.
Colours 9 above, and 10 below, two shades of green.
Which leaves us with just one more colour to go.

I'd say you've most definitely succeeded in "retaining that summer brightness".
It's very nice seeing this print unfold and it's another lovely one. Another enticing image of an England I hope to see one day.
But I can't help thinking: Wow! Eleven colours in a few weeks...that would take me almost three months!
Hi Katka
Thanks for the comment. I am using waterbased inks so I don't have the problem of waiting days for the prints to dry before I can print the next colour. If there isn't much carving I can sometimes get three colours down in one day.
