Late Alberta Peaches


4"x8" pear wood block on Somerset paper with Graphic Chemical ink.
Embossed and hand colored.

Adding a little veridian green to brown seems to result in a black print rather than a greenish-brown print. It looked the way I wanted it too when I pulled the prints, but they dried black. I wonder if adding some extender will give me the effect I want.

Robert,
Try printing it in dark purple...that will give it quite a change and go well with the color. I think that sometimes black just destroys color, it is too heavy or something.

Lovely. Dark purple sounds like an interesting experiment.
