Creating the monoprints for my first assignment wasn't all that much fun - it seems too straight forward. The results were ok but not fantastic - I wasn't expecting to be doing something so basic - more like linocuts and screen printing.
Before I start my next assignment I need to do 'positive and negative masked monoprints' and 'two coloured masked monoprints'. I think I will enjoy doing the masking effect. The teacher has suggested using a slightly less textured paper this time which I will do with oil paints and I would also like to do the same on fabric with fabric paints. The colours I have in mind are my favourite at the moment (similar to below) shades of rose pink inspired by the traditional colours used in Japan from plant dyes.
For the fabric I may hand dye it one shade and mask/paint the second shade.
I am not sure what the shape will be yet but I've had in mind for a while to create some pieces with just a simple circle so it will be along those lines.
