- The registration markings are of vital importance when printing more than one colour.
- When using several colours the print is made up of several paint layers. The shapes/composition is determined using the reduction method, with the lightest colours tending to be printed first and the darkest colours being printed last.

The Final Print:
With this print I decided to embrace the medium of the print making process and to not be as exacting as I was with my first print. After looking at some others work I saw that how the markings left by the lino cutting tools can add a new dimension to the piece, as opposed to my first piece where I was very particular about keeping the edges clean and sharp. I tried to use the craft knife as little as possible. Also the direction in which I cut the lino was done very purposefully as I wanted it to represent water and movement.
