Thinking colour in black and white
I’ve reached the technical stage. Now I need to turn my ideas and sketches into a number of colour separations which will be layered to form the finished print. I’ve decided to paint directly into the screen for the first layer and then will use either single colours or blends of colour for the detail.

I’m a little concerned that the sketches now look like lush rainforest, rather than a hawk’s habitat, so I may need to mute the colours a touch. I’ve sketched out each layer and then hand-drawn each one full size, ready to expose into the screen when I go to the print studio on Friday.
