After seeing Yasmin working on a piece of fabric the same size as the print table, I was inspired to work a bit bigger (although not quite full table)! I'd become so used to working on my laptop or drawing very tightly with my fineliner, and after getting messy with textures on a scannable size of A3, I decided it was time to go a little bigger! I bought some A1ish cold pressed printing paper from the Uni Shop, as I'd worked on this once before in second year, and adored the way the prints came out. I wanted to work in a similar way as to how I'd produced my digital collages, separating the paper off in an angular fashion and then filling these sections with different textures. I tried to mix up some similar colours that I'd worked with in photoshop, some were Metallic Binder, Some Opaque and one Gloss Binder. I wanted there to be a range of finishes within these pieces, I wasn't sure what exactly I was going to do with them yet, I just wanted to have fun today.
It was daunting at first, I'm not used to starting with such a large white space, but once I got into it, it just came naturally. They might not seem very detailed, but a lot of thought went into the texture and layering of these pieces and working with different surfaces is something I'd like to focus on more in the weeks to come!
