Explaining the Process of this Vase series
The process for this vase series is made up of the same way as the previous series of vases that I printed only this time I am using the reversal print instead of the print through the stencil. What I mean by this, is that when I go to print through the stencil like I have done with the other vase series, the Print from the stencil gets transferred onto the plastic sheet where I normally roll the ink on.
The depth and areas of the patterns within my vase stencil greatly depends on the blend of red colours I get and this is what makes this print look the way it is. When I previously printed one of this stencil in black it still leaves the black left behind on the stencil and when I print with red after you then get these blend of different red colours from light to dark. The method of getting it looking clean and shaped like a vase is quite simple, I just print out another vase the same way I do when I want to cut out a stencil and I just simply cut the outline of the vase out and I print through that to get this clean result.
I always had to do just the one print to make up the three or four different red colours and this method really does work out for me considering I don’t have to cut out the three different stencils of this vase to get the different colours. For me these vase series becomes more of a real looking vase and I will continue to create more stencils and print in this way to get the different pattern of colours.
