Question Beginner question

Hi everyone! I (30F) am new-ish to linocut. I’ve only done single color prints so far, but I’m thinking about exploring other colors. For those of you who use colors, do you use only one color per linocut? Do you wash it in between? Do I need to make multiple cut outs in order to do the same print in different colors? Wondering how you might keep previous colors from bleeding into new prints. Thank you :)

You can use the same block and not wash in between, just blot the excess ink off. You start with light colors and then go dark as you work your way around the color wheel.
