Printmaking Happy Crabby Part 2

Check out Part 1 of my Happy Crabby here-

Happy Crabby

Here it is-

You can believe lessons are being learned through this process!

Print 1 - Yellow

Print 2 - Magenta Pink

Results:  The pink on top of the yellow results in a red orange kind of color in some areas.

I have realized this is one of the most exciting part of printmaking-

How will the colors appear when overlapped?

Here's some photos of the process:

How awesome is this color!

This is my linoleum block inked up and ready for printing.

Look closely you can see a slight impression on the paper.

This is what the paper looks like after rolling it through the rolling press.

The Happy Crabby linoleum block is underneath.  

I took this photo just before I removed the paper and placed it on the drying rack.

Do you see what could look like a teal color in this closeup?

Yeah....

Before I started the pink, I experimented with this color.

It was advertised as turquoise blue!

It was not turquoise, it is in fact a teal green.

It's a nice color but not what I want for my Happy Crabby!

On a side note though, I really love how the ink stands on the block.  

You can see the detailed lines.

Luckily, I purchased this magenta pink also!

I did a few prints of just pink as well!

What's next?

Cut away more block and print one last time with black ink.

Thanks to Johnston Community College and Jerry's Artarama!
