Further Development of observations in print

Into todays session I began to experiment with stencilling sections of my chosen observations (plaits, textures, shapes, colour, composition, motifs and Photoshop manipulated print idea)   in the hope of producing a representational prints using a plethora of ink in the workshop.
I firstly began by photocopying my most successful observations and mixed media pieces, so that I could go straight into making a stencil cutting out the negative spaces or following the lines and creases of the photocopy using a scalpel.
After creating 6 different stencils, I went to the workshop rolling all my chosen colours out sticking mainly to my chosen analogous colour pallet. Rolling various colours of  paint over a plastic white board, which would be then covered by the stencil and put through the press.
I followed this process numerous times changing colours and positioning of the stencil, layering stencils  and below you can see the process and a few selected out comes. Which, overall I think are quite strong expressive pieces with rich deep colours, corresponding with the original polluted analogous colours of the yarn bomb environment.
From doing this print exercise it has improved my confidence in making my own prints and experimenting with the process.
Furthermore it was expanded the bulk of work and media used which will give me more ideas to develop and experiment with further along in the project.
