February 8, 2016 - donkey 4

One of the aspects of is the finishing relief prints that I enjoy is the opportunity to add after-printing enhancements  in a variety of different ways and use different materials.

You may noticed yesterday that the initial ink color was purple.  The colors added to the resulting relief print were actually in the purple range.  The donkeys below were both printed with black ink and the range of colors used to complete both of them is predominately gray.

Donkey in black and grays - Relief print created with Ranger black in and FW acrylic inks on 400 series Strathmore printmaker paper.

Donkey in black and grays - #2 - Relief print created with black Daniel Smith water soluble relief ink and golden acrylic paints on 400 series Strathmore mixed media paper.
I decided to go with a denser bodied paint to complete the second donkey on this page.  There is an appropriate use for both images, but the use of different mediums clearly results in different effects.
