Print run 9: Platinum disc


I am happy with how this one turned out, it looks fantastic.  As with my Gold disc print test run, I similarly layed down a layer of white first to stop the colour of the paper showing through. From previous experiences, I know that often grey on black paper looks slightly bluish.

The second layer was a light grey. I started by mixing medium and white in a 50/50 ratio, and then very gradually adding paynes grey to it in small amounts to make it darker. It is easy to go overboard with this and make it go too dark.

After the grey has dried, I printed the last colour in silver.
