The Art Technique for the New Book Farfalla.

I am working on the art technique for the new book.  I am planning on using a combination of linoleum block printing printed on transparency and watercolor on textured paper for Farfalla. 

I borrowed this transparency from our art director Mike Blanc.  I wanted to practice transferring images from the transparency to see how accurate I could be.   I painted this transferred image with watercolor.  I wasn't sure I could match up the paint underneath with the lines on the overlying transparency.  I think that my linoleum block printing lines are usually thicker than those in this sample, so I shouldn't have a problem with this technique. 

I may try some samples using acrylic paint instead of watercolor.
