Spot the Difference!

Here is the proof for a new 'Tulips' screenprint next to the finished print. Printing some proofs first is time consuming but it really helps me work out the right colours & identify any problems with my artwork. When I printed these tulip proofs not only did I realise that the colours were too bright but also that I had printed the layers in the wrong order.
For the finished print I chose to screen print the background with a green gradient. Next I added some peach details to the flowers before printing the deep red. Lastly I screen printed the green leaves & finished a small edition of 25 Tulips on ivory coloured Fabriano Rosaspina printmaking paper.
