Why four colors
are enough.
A screen can only carry one color at a time. That limit is the best thing about it. You have to decide what the drawing really needs.
Yellow for the open sky. Red for that last heat of the afternoon. Blue for the river. Black for the shapes that hold it together. Where two inks meet, a new color sometimes happens.
I don't try to hide the tiny differences between sheets. A little more blue at the edge, a registration mark a hair to the left. That's the hand in hand-pulled.
