Due to the unavailibility of
the printing inks that I required, (ordered from the shop, but they
hadn't arrived yet) I decided to paint some studies based on how
different circle forms and compositions react to the square canvas
they are placed within. I started out with a blue canvas in an
attempt to relate to the cyanotype printing technique (monochrome
blue), that I will be trying.
I created the painting
specifically with different colours, depths and forms so I could view
how these different element transfer through the digital negative
process and on to the cyanotype printing process. I will use this as a
base point to evaluate the success of various further prints as it
will allow me to gauge how the process treats various elements within
paintings, such as shadow, depth and the conversion of colour to
monochrome.
While the first painting
contains a simple form with cool colours with a large tonal
difference, the second is designed with a larger variety of colours.
This is so I can evaluate the success of simple designs versus
chaotic designs after they are processed and printed. The third
painting was focusing more on the use of warmer colours to see how
these colours would transfer into the monochrome blue of the
cyanotype print.
