Week one recap with Dale Devereux Barker
Ok so last week on thursday 12/03/2015 I met up with artist Dale Devereux Barker who showed me away to print my vase stencils more efficiently and successfully. I had made a video previously of the makings of them vase techniques that he showed me and proved to be as successful more than I could possibly imagine. I also done some research about Dale Barker and his use of printing methods in vases and plants.
Week two – pattern experimenting with my vase stencilsÂ
Right so this Thursday 19/03/2015 I managed to meet up with Dale Devereux Barker again to discuss ways into making my vase prints look more detailed and by using more colour. By doing this he mentioned from last weeks session that it would be possible to draw on the silkscreen to make other patterns and shapes to go underneath my vase stencil silkscreen.
By doing this methods I decided to record a video of him showing me how to do it so that i can remember better on how to do these different techniques in creating patterns for my vases.
What has Dale Barker’s session taught me?
Well it has indeed taught me of different ways to make my own personal patterns with the making of my vase stencils and has enabled me to make more unique vase designs. it has also taught me to make patterns using different colours in a very simple way without the need of making extra silkscreens and with a less time consuming ability.
what I mean by a ‘less time consuming ability’ is that normally you would need more silkscreens to make these patterns and also take time to wash them and to wait for each process to dry. dale Barker has shown me much simpler ways to making my vase prints look more unique and different from each other by using the one silkscreen. I may use these techniques in some of my future vase prints.
Next plan of action?
Ok so next Thursday 26/03/2015 dale barker will show me how to blend some colours from dark to light to help make the main colour of my vases look more real. he will show me ways to try make the vases look like the light is shining on them. So it sounds like an interesting week coming up and with any luck I can define my vase prints a lot more with the help of dale barker and Will keep you updated.
