Working in Raquel's studio

I've been learning how to make lino cut prints this year - Raquel teaches me in her studio. I started with a small black & white print of 3 fish, moved on to a 4 color reduction print of a tomato and am currently working on a 7 color reduction process. Making a color reduction print is a kind of reverse thinking - the picture doesn't fully emerge until the last color is laid down.

I printed both the fish and tomato in a single day, but this 7 color job is much larger in size and complexity. Hope it works... I am enjoying a bit of studio practice and now need to set up a studio at home.
