Development with my concepts...
Thinking of the “colours” idea, i make some design with it, using masking take to cover liner parts and experiment with watercolours to try and create a pattern of some sort where i could then, using some mark making tecniques, print on top with diferent materials.
Unfortunatly when pealling the tape it also rip parts of the paper but i decided to go with it and use the colour parts that i found more interesting.
I experimented with diferent materials to uso to print but these are the marks i likes best.
I was trying to create the idea of folding pipes, something use more mecanical, the repetition of its shapes, so i decided to use a piece of cardboard and cut out the shapes i was looking for to print:
Cardboard cutout and prints:
I then experimented with doing some montage with bits of paper, cardboard and plastic, i was using for the mark making, as i thought they looked interesting if i put them together:
Finally i had a go on photoshop with these monoprints to see how they would work with my linocut card suits designs, to possibly get some ideas of how i will finalize them, see it i could use this:
I think they look interesting. I also notice how unconscietly i end up going to a more darker imagery sight, even though i started with colours on this development. I will take onward the more darker concept as it obviously something i do and enjoying doing without even thinking to much of it. Find it more appealing and interesting.
The last 3 images, i feel they actually worked quite well. I like the textures and the contrasts, the “ruffness” that it gave to the design.
