All about learning a better way of using carborundum to make collagraphs that I can actually print with the intaglio method.

In contemplating the future direction of my art endeavors, I learn how to paint (or print) what I love when it poses materialistic difficulties.

After revisiting much-loved printmaking methods with relative success, I branched out with experimental techniques and found I much more practice is needed to master them.

Here is the finished print, the final, sixth, color printed was a grayish brown that mostly served to add depth. I've titled it "Riverview Sky."

The second to last color on the latest reduction print is dark green. This is the first "dark" color that I've added to the print.

I'm up to the fourth color on my latest reduction linocut (two more colors to go). After the blue of the sky was printed, a lot of linoleum was removed, and there's not much area left to take ink because I'm down to mostly accent colors.
