Hydrangea Color Experiments

I finally had the chance to play with some colors on my hydrangea blocks about a week or so ago. My plan all along has been to do lots of different color variations with these blocks, since hydrangeas come in so many colors. When I got to mixing the colors, I found myself wanting ultramarine blue and a different red of some kind, colors that are not in my set. I decided to go ahead and print with blues and greens for that session. I was perplexed about those other colors, which seem missing from my palette, and kept thinking about them because I know when I bought the Akua Intaglio, I bought every color available except lamp black. So, this week, I started searching, and, lo and behold, Akua Intaglio has come out with 7 or 8 new colors, including ultramarine blue, carbazole violet, and scarlet red. Perfect!
