What dreams may come
Wonderful class at City lit as usual and good to be in a class where fellow students are working on many different techniques, I found this inspiring.
Learning points for me, important to work out all the colours before starting to print. See how the colours work together and do a visual with the colours overlaid to check the opacity. The background image should be more visible, the image of the mother should be clearly seen behind the girl’s head.
Follow the photoshop visual for placing of overlaid images. For example the painted swirl should be lower down so that the eye of the girl is visible.
There were some issues with registration but after talking to Sue, she suggested moving the acetate forwards from the edge of the desk. This helped a lot as it meant that the acetate didn’t keep shifting when I was trying to register the colours.
My intention is to create a series of three screenprints on the theme of sleep, dreams and sunflowers. I’ve bought my own screen and waiting on delivery of an A1 portfolio.
