The above print colour is far too dominant as it is. The feint blue and yellow of the initial layers can barely be seen. When it’s had a chance to dry I shall soften this effect with a white ink layer using items such as lace, doilies, feathers and leaves as masks.
The following print has stronger first layers in yellow and blue. Thinking about it I should have used an alternative colour combination for the initial layers so that my third layer could complement them both. I’m thinking of colours closer together on the colour wheel such as yellow and orange or green and blue.
I’m feeling a bit strung out as I am awaiting the results for my November assessment for Dr4drs. It’s taking a lot of my head space. They should arrive via email sometime this week. I have just 3.5 weeks before I need to post my first assignment on this module. It should be plenty of time, but I need to be more productive than I have been in order to meet this deadline.
