We're going to get away from it soon... but not just yet.
I lost a little studio time last week to mucking about learning to make short little videos for the spring World Migratory Bird Day celebrations, for which I made the poster art. After a few days I was reasonably adept, but you know that the next time I have to do it I will have forgotten it all and will have to start over.
BUT.... never mind. I am back to work in the deep blue sea of the current linocut.
Step 4. Not much to say here except that it was a medium transparent blue.

I'm starting to strengthen the separation of larger light and darker areas in the water, which is satisfying.

I felt pretty good about it at this point, but decided I needed one more intermediate value of blue before I do the darkest bits. This pass was also transparent... a very gray blue.

Yes, okay! That feels pretty good. I think just one more color pass overall in the water, and then the birds (maybe 3 color passes?) and then it's done! It's looking promising for a fewer-than-10-color-passes finish... stay tuned.
