Had a great colour talk with Meg Buick which helped with colour mixing no end... (now making the purples I want instead of browns).

UWE BLOG: 2020: YEAR 2: SEMESTER 1: DRAWING & PRINT (BA Hons): TIN STANTON
This blog contains highlights of my 2nd year at UWE, and includes ideas, discoveries and works which I feel are relevant to the course made both inside and out of the studio, as well as outlining the processes I have learned.
The blog also includes my 'Studio File' ( A collection of personally influential artists and recent gallery visits) as well as my Professional Practice experiences.

The second part of laser printing involved taking my treated blocks (a layer of PVA and water and a layer of shellac) and printing them in exactly the same way as lino printing.
From my original drawing I had made two halftone blocks with slightly different half-tone patterns. I found that a combination of these in different colours or tones allowed me to pull both the dark areas and the details out of the print.
The accuracy of this method and both the elements of the printing and the natural feel of the wood itself give a very warm and human feel to something that was created digitally.
I am already considering a large (A0) print from a digital design which could utilise both the router and the offset printing press, working in the same way with completely different tools.

Following on from my previous week's work, it was suggested that I should duplicate the work. Surprisingly to me it actually became an interesting exercise in duplication; not what was planned, but I found that I managed to recreate the piece (albeit with less detail) in about a fifth of the time.
