4 color linoleum print

Over printing detail of Chimú. Note there are hints of
green, purple and orange even though only the primaries
blue, red and yellow were printed.

You got it. The overprinted primary colors mix to create
secondary colors.

And finally our kitchen & dinning room covered in prints,

as I try to print up at least a 20 piece edition. Imagine this

happening not once, not twice, not even three times, BUT

four times in one week. 

Every color is one time through the press. So with a four

color print there is a lot of drying time. Also to get a solid 

20 prints I sent more like 25 through the press. Sometimes

the Printmaking Gods are unkind and not every piece

prints well. (despite what you see in this picture)
