Now the third color

Drawing fluid for the third color

Here is a photo of the third stencil that I am making for this reduction print. With the original design under the translucent screen, I painted everything that was to be the third color. I went right over the leaf forms in the corners and the center of the blossoms. I carefully painted the lines separating the petals and painted the area around the center.

I decided that black ink would be the right color for this step. When I printed the black on all of the background colors - I was so excited that I forgot to photograph this step. I'm sorry.

Four colors have been printed

Here is a print of the third color alone.
