Dark brown down! Seventh colour. Five to go.

#screenprinting #printmaking #printmaker #thatchers

My thatchers screenprint is coming together with this seventh layer which is dark brown. Details of the thatchers faces and arms are now visible as well as the road, roofs, windows, doors and wood grain.
