So I heard you like colours. Lots of colours. Thought I might post some. On a press. A stone lithography “Schnellpresse” by Maschinenfabrik Johannisberg from 1897. Photos taken Feb 2019, during a two week workshop led by Master Printer Ernst Hanke and Patrick Wagner. 1. Warm orange for Amalia Årfelt’s cat 2. Adding more green to light green ink on the rollers for pass #2 of the green for trees in a BHP print 3. Tapdowns 4. Breaking the green from pic 2 by adding some reddish-brown. With all the rollers inked up there’s a lot of ink in the press, adding this much red-family ink will just “break” the colour, not change it dramatically. 5. Cover white (yuck) based light green on the left, ultramarine base violet on the right 6. Violet on the left, transparent base light green (much nicer) on the right, from some days earlier. Just a good combo. 7. blue to light blue fade on the left side, beige (a very transparent warm grey) on the right 8. Magenta, green and warm brown 9. Beige (a very transparent broken orange) and warm red 10. Yeah I’m not gonna write down all those colours. Ok whatever: Magenta to warm red to pink (transparent magenta) to purple to warm red to pink to purple for another BHP print.
Wanna see the prints too?
