10:30 AM ~ We're missing another photo here too. This is the block for the clouds that hover around the mountain, and this block is printed twice. The first impression was a flat yellow ochre tone. When it was done, I printed another metallic mixture over top of it. This time the pigment is a commercial preparation known as 'Pearl Gold'. I think it's titanium flakes, or something like that, mixed with a gelatine-like binder. Printing the pearl without a yellow base coat underneath it gives quite a weak effect, but with a good solid base in place, the gold effect is much more effective.
