Colour Mixing Oil Based Relief Inks with Extender

Let's mix up a few colours using extender. Skies are really important to get right! Here I am using traditional relief printing ink for linocut and colour mixing for inking up my reduction linocut

Hi Laura! I’m starting out with relief printing, I’ve been using Cranfield Traditional Relief Ink and have been liking it. I’m looking at branching out into using more colours but I can’t afford that many tubes (I’m still at uni) so was hoping to get a few colours. My main issue is that there are so many shades of the primary colours! Do you have any advice on which ones are the most “neutral”/ best to pick to be able to mix the most other colours?

Thanks Laura and Ben for another great video. Lovely to see the different way you treat the colours for the two blocks. Quite inspring. Laura, is the red you were using Rubine Red? Curious to know which of the Cranfield reds it is. Also, I agree with your about the blue/black. Tiny bits can make such an amazing difference. I have carbon black and blue black and I don't think I've used carbon black more than once since I bought it. The blue/black has come in very handy though if used sparingly.

I was using process red from intaglio own brand range I think - very old tube as I use it really slowly
