Different printing techniques and materials

I decided to try out just drawing straight on to the green paper to see how clear it would make the images. 

1. a) In this experiment, I test out using copper flakes against the green, I think using a little bit of flakes is effective. 

1.b) However, in this version I wanted to show that the statue is fully copper and turning green. Instead of this experiment looking how I intended it to go. It was the complete opposite. It looks messy and unclear as to what it is. 

2. a) I then decided I wanted to try and use posca pen to draw on top, this is because it would be the closest to what printing ink would look like. I wanted to try orange on green for the outline to see if I preferred to using white. I think that it could look interesting, however I'm not fully convinced. 

2. b) Just using ink instead of copper flakes makes the image clear and It wouldn't be hard to do. 

 Here's my experiment with using acrylic paint with lino. I didn't have any ink on hand so thought acrylic could be a good substitute. I made two different lino. One to just create the outline and the other the to create the outline using the page. The better experiment out of the two was definitely the one where the ink creates the outline. I also have decided that I will be using white or lightly coloured paper as the background colour.
