NOTES ON CMYK:
When hand printing CMYK, the images tend to print darker.
I recommend playing with the levels in your original image and lighten it a bit, knowing it will print a bit darker.

CMYK samples / Process Color
You can also do traditional CMYK by starting with Cyan, then Magenta, followed by Yellow and finally Black.  
You might also try starting with Magenta, then Yellow, Cyan & Black. But you can mix up the order to get different effects and also use non CMYK colors for your four separations.

PROTIP / The process colors come already semi-transparent.  However in hand printing, things tend to print darker.
I'd suggest adding some additional Transparent base to each of your colors, or even just thin them further with water.
