The second one here had Caran d'Ache water colour crayon added with pencil crayon to bring up a bit of detail.
On no.3, I just used Caran d'Ache crayons as there was quite a lot of colour already on the page from the original print.
This was treated in the same way. The paper was copy paper as advised by Gina - fine for the prints themselves, but it wrinkles when water is added and I'm not even sure it has dried in this last photo! I could have ironed or pressed the pages of course, but am far too impatient to do that.

It has been such a lovely day today that I sat in the garden doing these this afternoon. Hope you have had a lovely day too.

Brilliant results Heather. They have been transformed.
they've come out really well Heather. I do enjoy seeing how people progress through their projects.
Sorry I've missed a couple of posts Heather.
But I've just enjoyed catching up with all your printing experiments. Your results are excellent!
I shall follow your progress with the sketchbooks course with interest. I'm considering doing C&G embroidery with Distant Stitch.
Love these, the colour of the top one is great. I think your mono prints in the previous post are fabulous too.
They are coming along really well aren't they?
They are beautiful Heather. I do love Kohinoor = the colours are so clear aren't they? I have begun my project today and am determined to continue although the results are pretty feeble so far.
I love all your little experiments - very inspirational. x Jo
More than just doodling Heather :-) Lovely to sit in the garden and enjoy the sunshine.
Wonderful sketchbook work while I've been away Heather.
