This is the final print for the image I posted a sketch of awhile ago (here). I printed it using yellow and purple like in the sketch but didn't like the way it looked, so I switched the yellow ink to magenta because the purple ink is mixed with magenta so I thought they would flow better together. The print didn't come out exactly as I was hoping, to get them to look the way I wanted they had to be exact copies of each other and I wasn't as precise with my aquatint as I had hoped. I still like the way it came out and learned a lot from it--there's a pink plate with black a la poupee (selective wiping with multiple colors on the same plate) in the purple and a purple plate with a la poupee in the pink--I wish I had a chance to take a photo of my color separation but had to turn it in for my critique. The colors are a little brighter in the actual print than the photo as well. I'm looking forward to doing more multi-plate prints in the future.
