Colour

This session we looked at colour. I found watercolours okay to use but produced muddy colours if over mixed or contaminated.  I used gouache instead to thicken the opacity and get bolder colours.  

 Textiles were easier to describe with colouring pencils to produce the layers and replicate threads.

 I particularly liked the tin cars because of their bold colours - i'll try to produce some stencil prints from these for experimenting.

I especially like the colours used here, I would like to produce a print for the cafe I work in as they're looking for work to put up...need to take this opportunity!! 

orange is too muddy....the simple shapes let the colour sing out. 

working from photos is bad, the light is different and can't focus on the contrast properly... 

Produce prints from these!!!
