Using just the etchings for the seven scientists, I have printed them, watercoloured base colours over top and then added pen and ink on top afterwards. This process is alot quicker than making the prints with etching and lino cuts. Instead of taking afew hours to create the lino print and print both images ontop of eachother I can make the drypoint etching plate, print it, paint it and ink it all within an hour. I prefer the look of these coloured prints compared with the last set with less flat colours and the range of more colours that can be used when painting the piece. Due to this being my preference I will continue and do the other 5 prints in this style while also needing to add a figure into each one after once I have decided what they will be doing. Hopefully these seven will be finished by mid week so i can start my next series of work
