Looking at the Indian art research I had collected, I realised the prints included animals; birds butterflies and insects. I therefore decided to start experimenting with this aspect. I have never used animals within my work, so it was difficult at first! I used a thicker watercolour mix to make the colours more defined so the shapes looked quite bold and full of depth.
After having a feedback in my tutorial, I realised I needed to start producing individual motifs that could either be used individually, or together to create a full print...
...But then I started to use yellow! Looking at the work I produced this week, I just think, why?! Nevertheless, there was a reason. In most of the visual research I collected, creams and yellows were used for both the backgrounds and hints within the motifs. Therefore, I thought it would be a good idea to experiment with this idea using the bird motifs I had created. Yellow has NEVER been my colour-I think this is because I've never been able to wear it as I have red hair...and to this day, it is STILL not my colour!
