Relief Printmaking Color Mixing

"Now I'm going to add some blue to it, and give another color definition into this print. This isn't a traditional means of coloring your block of wood, but because we are hand printing, we are using inks, we can make, we can use this block in ways that, in any way that we want to. So, I'm going to add this blue into this red color, just a touch. I still have a bit of that brown in the brayer, and the pallet itself, as well as the block of wood. I'm going to introduce this new blue, and bring it from the top down. So basically, I'm making a gradation between this red color and this blue color on my block of wood. As I get close to the other line of color, I'm at the moment I'm going to stay away until I have the deep deeper blue in all the areas that I want it, and then the brayer itself will start to mix on my block of wood. This is one way to make very unique prints with more than one color, and one block of wood, and one printing."
