Only one color left. One of the bad parts about reduction printing is that, as you pile layers of ink, the natural unevenness causes the final colors to be a bit patchy. I've seen this on multiple block prints too. I used to worry about it a lot until I got to see a Gustave Baumann print up close recently. Sometimes, as artists, we have to embrace those imperfections.
This is a very dark red. Maybe too dark? We'll see. It's hard to gauge how colors will look on completion. For example, though the sky looks really good, but I kind of wish I'd gone bolder. But then maybe it would be to cartoon?
