Lucienne day is a 1950's printer, the prints are bold and abstract showing how I want my prints to look. They are minimal and simple.
Colour palette...
Using some of my images from the summer project and visual research from Manchester.
My colour palette involves teals, blues, greys, mustards and greens reflecting my summer and the city. Most of it reflects the weather.
I wanted a few hand drawn designs in my collection to look different to my screen prints. I used my previous drawings from the city to the re-draw and select which ones work best. I wanted these to look layered so started with a sponge print and added over the top using brushes, pens and graphite. Lucienne day inspired me greatly for this. Using block water colour shapes I think the other media on top works well and shows a layered composition with contrast in colour and texture.
Using fabric samples to pick up my colour palette...
I ordered some samples as close to my colour palette as possible, they turned out to be perfect.
