i just started printmaking and am super curious about the cool effects in ur prints! if u wouldn’t mind, how do u do that gradient effect? and i don’t quite understand the layering where some colors dont seem to be laid on top of each other (neon green and pink for example), how does that work?

I do prints with multiple layers! if you're talking about ones like this one:

I don't ever do reduction prints because I like to be able to print infinity of them so this one is three individual sheets of linoleum that I painstakingly align lmao. it's more work from the jump but I can get more out of it in the long run so I like it

the gradients I do are just from rolling two ink colors alongside eachother on a given layer. it doesn't work as well on lineart but for big planes of color with less detail it comes out nice.

take everything I say with a grain of salt though because I'm also pretty new at this! I've only being making them for a couple years now
