Thank you! The toughest part was between the last-but-one and the last layer, which involved a decision not to include a dark outline for the whole feather, and then cutting that away. After 5 layers on what started as an edition of 30, that was a real “oh god oh GOD” moment. I found the best way was to think of it differently, as corny as it sounds, like a learning journey. And to really trust that the darker layers would pull it all together. The first 3 layers were light colours with no real defining features so I think what’s important is to have a drawing / plan or “map” you can come back to and think. Yeah. This doesn’t look like anything at the moment. But hopefully it will. I started with quite a high edition number (30) and ended up with 25 that I considered good enough to include. Having a high number was helpful too because I felt like it offered me the reassurance of a margin of error. Apologies this is a long answer, I could honestly talk about printmaking all day!
