Developing samples with colour

This week I have been adding colour and shape to my previous samples.Using stencils I've cut out gives me a wider range of motifs for my designs, I can also make and develop them whilst working in the print room. drawing from my backgrounds and other visual research I was able to have varied shapes making each print individual.

Adding pigment colour to the print using stencils with designs from previous print neagatives.

I've found that the bolder stencils work well and create more of a contrast to the background.

 The ideas I have in the print room have been growing in the result of using stencils as the progress is quite quick and feel that the prints I have done so far act as my sketchbook, and show development.

I have chosen to use pigment because I wanted the colours to be brighter and some to have pastel shades.

By continuous line drawing certain designs, I created a stencils by cutting around these. By doing this, I am able to create thinner motifs linking more with my drawings and still keeping a hand drawn aesthetic to the prints. 
 

 I have been inspired by the work of  James Nares.
