Island Light print progress

 Just about finished with my Island Light 2 print. I have a few individual prints that need a little touching up, but the bulk of the process is completed. I found that the darkest color ink mix that I was using, wasn't adhering to the paper as well as I would like. One issue that can happen, relates to the temperature and humidity of the studio. It has been very warm, so the ink was thinner than usual. I ordered some Akua Mag Mix, which is a magnesium based paste that can be added into the ink to stiffen it up. I think that was helpful.  Below is the state of the Soft-Kut block after all the layers. were carved away.                                 


This is the finished print made with the following layers:

"Rainbow roll" sky for a gradation of colors

Pale  blue

light medium blue

medium blue 

green

dark blue

 blue/black

I'll have this print available on my Etsy shop,  JGTentas, as soon as they are dry enough to ship!

Have a wonderful week!
