1. For this, we used watercolor paper, used watercolors on the paper similar to the colors in the image we chose and let it dry.
2. Then, we used Mod Podge on the image we chose and put it on the watercolor paper with the paint already dry.
3. Next was using a Squeegee, which is a tool used to get rid of air bubbles in the image when glued onto the watercolor paper.
4. After gluing, we let the image dry to the watercolor paper.
5. After everything was dry, we used water to get rid of the excess paper on the image to reveal the ink from the image. The image was still present, but it looked as though it was printed onto the watercolor paper.
The project was easy and fun. Although, there were some days where I would forget to stop working on my Adobe Illustrator project and work on the Printing Process project. I think I did a good job, this being my first time. I did do two of them because my teacher said if we decided to do two, the best one would be graded. I also did two because the two images I chose I thought were the best-photoshopped projects I've done.
One thing I will do better next time is making sure I don't rub too hard on the image because, as it is obvious, some of the ink was rubbed away during the water process (step 5). I think Alien Man was better compared to my fox/forest one because less ink is missing and is cleaner. I would also recolor the watercolor part due to how faded the background looks.
I would use the sane images if I did this project again just because I think they're my best work and I really like them compared to my other projects.
Actually, I really like the fox in the woods. There was cool textures on the trees and ground. To some degree, I also liked the distortion around the fox. For me it was as if the distortion was the animal's spirit.
ReplyDeleteAs I viewed a read your post and was thinking about what and how to phase it, I was agreeing that your alien was cleaner, but I'm in agreement with Melinda that your fox is my favorite. The background makes the fox stand out more.
