Now that we've gone over the basics of making a simple, one-color block print, I'll go over a few techniques for making multi-color linocuts. You can use the reduction method, jigsaw method, or multiple block technique to make prints with more than one color. I sometimes use a couple methods on the same print like on this Lake Tahoe print - A Noble Sheet of Blue Water. However, there's also a relatively easy way artists can add a pop of color to a print using a technique called the rainbow roll, also known as a gradient or blended roll - I'll explain these various options in detail below. I've linked some of my supply and book recommendations below to Amazon and Blick so you can take a closer look and some of them are not available at local stores depending on where you live. Just so you know, if you end up buying something on Amazon or Blick, I'd get a small commission since I'm part of their affiliate program, but feel free to shop elsewhere. You can find more details about this here
