Once the carving is complete, then its time to start thinking about the color and technique. I saved the color mix from the last run and so plan to add a touch more blue and ochre to darken the color. But just a touch darker so it remains subtle, yet dark enough so the line work will just show. This means I spend a fair amount of time mixing and adjusting the color before I even start printing.

I should post mixing and printing photos this evening. It's a rare wet and rainy day here in Colorado, so I should get a lot done in the studio.
