Artist sheet complete!

My salvador dali mood board is finished, I added orange and yellow to the white background as I feel he uses these colours the most, also it contrasts really well against the black writing to make it stand out. 

stencil print in my artist sheet

after I did a few samples on newsprint I decided to do a few on card so I could add them to my work.. This was the outcome! 

My samples from stencil printing

These first two are produced by the basic stencil print I explained in my first post

Where as this one was created by leaving the stencil in the ink and putting news print over so that the ink would go everywhere apart from where the stencil was. I personally like this the best! 

Stencil print process

Oil base ink is used 

First you have to cut out plastic stencils in the design you wish to print

Then you have to roll the ink over your plastic design 

Then put newsprint over the top then use a clean roller and roll over the newsprint then you have your completed stencil print! 

Stencil printing

Today Lena showed me how to stencil print, which is by far the most enjoyable printing I've done.. I decided to base my work around our current project so that I could add what i had learnt to my work!

When I saw the technique Lena used I decided to do my stencils to fit in with William Morris for my artist sheets

Mood board 2 William Morris

William Morris

It's incomplete! But I have learnt more about Morris' work and have grown to like him! His leaves and flowers are what he draws the most and it's what I like the most, his detail and colour are amazing. I've tried to produce the same effect by starting to scratch into my paint on the flowers.

Mood board 1

My salvador dali mood board.

What I've done so far! Background needs finishing and a few more details added but so far I'm happy with it and have learnt which peices of Dalis work I would like to work more into, which has given me ideas for my final peice! 

William Morris project

In this project we have to look at William Morris and his arts and craft movement which we then mix with another artist of our choice to create a final peice either wallpaper or canvas which could well end up in the civic Barnsley! 

I'm not too fond of William Morris, I think he's an amazing artist and his style is unique for his time but it's not my style or what I like personally, so I have chosen salvador dali as my other artist to add more colour and randomness which is more what I like to see in my work! Can't wait to see the outcome...
