We needed
some art work printed onto acetate for the first day’s work and some ideas for direct
drawing for the second. I resized and revamped a couple of things from the artwork I
had made for ‘Was she the one who?’ so that I had a photographic image to work
with. I also made a drawing in charcoal and ink which I scanned so I could see
how drawn marks would translate.
This is what I produced on the first day when we used the
images on acetate to learn how to expose, develop and print the plates.
The second day we explored mark making on translucent
drafting film. You can use this instead of printed transparencies to expose the
plate. I tried to make a 3 colour separation image, using different materials
for the drawings for the three plates so that I could see how the various types of marks would work. Given the image I was trying to make, this
was too ambitious in the time frame(and I’m not going to share) but I learned a lot
about materials, registration and inking. This is a process that suits my way of working so I’m going to take the time to work out the design
and mark making and try again.
