This print required eight print layers to accommodate the different and areas variant from standard color layering. There was a good deal of local coating for any semblance of color separation between said visual areas. I have also been printing in the skies of the more recent prints far more softer, lighter, than previously. I have been seeking a soft, light blue, just above what might be a light gray. Don't ask me why, it's just a personal thing that tends to change over time. The biggest challenge for me is digitally copying the original print, considering lighting conditions, camera work, and my being pretty much color blind in red/green. It should be at least close to the original.
I stand corrected. There happened to be a color sighted individual that was kind enough to tell me what they saw of the digital image as posted here. Not what I had thought. The barely light blue sky just above gray, isn't apparently. It's slightly green with a little yellow showing through, which means the blue I added failed to cover that up. The water is not blue/green, at all, and about the only portion of the image being the beach, which should be in the gray arena, the fence, which should be brown(ish) [burnt sienna].and the palm tree, which I am told is green(ish), which I can't see. Hopefully, for the color sighted, the accumulative visual effect is pleasing, or at least interesting.
