Colour scheme

                                 

I have decided to take the paler colours Andy Warhol uses to create my book as I like the idea of them having an antique feel to them which I can create with these colours. Within my book I want to include pages of just patterns , but I also want to include pages of just Lino printed dogs and then as well as them I want to include some dogs on top of the patterns as well as plain. Also as well as using Lino prints I am going to include some mono prints to give the book a range of textures, these two techniques give it the antique feel/look that I am after as they are rough techniques which don't always come out perfect. 

Artist influeces

Towards my final piece I am looking into Andy Warhol as one of my main influences due to his choice of bright colors and range of different colours. Where Andy produces prints using screens i am going to produce prints using Lino printing and mono printing this then creates a different kind of print and makes it have a more rustic look. I am then going to look into the colours Andy used in his work and like more the colour references into my prints instead of the techniques he uses. I like his work as it is fun to look at as it is bright and colourful and attracts people to it because of this, I want people to do that with my work. 

                            

Lino printing.....

                              

Lino printing.... I love the Lino printing as you can create an amazing effect with just a piece of Lino and some inks. My Lino print have took time to calve but when spending the time producing them it made the final prints more thrilling to produce after spending all that time producing them. When learning this way of doing Lino printing I really enjoyed it and I want to develop my skills within this technique and want to use it as one of the main elements within my final piece. I feel that this will create the best look on my piece's to show off the images best.

Mono printing.....

                                  

This mono print of sky is one of my favorite ones it shows he character with her tilted head. Within this style of printing I like that you can get a range of mark makings within it and also you can produce amazing images with a large amount of detail and shading but you can also produce linear drawings to.

                                 

These linear drawings are really effective you can produce a veriaty of different kinds of linear effects, when doing them I used different mediums to draw with I personally prefer to use the brio pen and then also print onto newsprint which created the best print as it picks up a large amount of the ink and creates a quite messy background which I like.
