Continued from [River in Summer - 20] - Impressions 20~23 | Starting point of the thread was [River in Summer] - How the print is made

Another four colours done today ... wondering if I might be able to finish tomorrow ...

That impression by itself (on scrap paper ...) (block):

Impression #25 - Building up more depth on the mossy stones ...:

That impression by itself (on scrap paper ...) (block):

Impression #26 - Base tone on the tree at left ...:

I think there should perhaps be one more impression on this tree - a gradation from the left ...

That impression by itself (on scrap paper ...) (block):

Impression #27 - The last remaining untouched tree ...

That impression by itself (on scrap paper ...) (block):

The thread continues in [River in Summer - 22] - Impressions 28~31 ...
