Visual and Development Sheets.

This first image is of my 'Lettuce Sea Slug' Visual sheet. I got the pattern from the images I have on my relating mood board; I simply traced 3 bold outlined areas from some of the larger images off my mood board and began to copy them onto an A3 sheet I had Batik'd onto. I tried to batik in a similar pattern to the images/tracings; I Batik'd the pattern first and then went over the paper with a watered down blue Brusho so there was a coloured background. I then decided to create 2 areas of the line tracings, one area I filled with green Gouache paint and the other section I decided to create a outline with a black felt pen. 

This next image is the relating Development sheet to the above. I started by developing the colour green by using it as the background colour (Emerald Green and Yellow Brusho's). I then re-used my tracings I created from images for which I used on my Visual sheet to re-create the layout, I also made my development sheet a repeated pattern. Again I split the tracings into section's the first section was black outlines created with black felt pens and black Gouache, the second section was filled with white Gouache. 

Alongside both of these sheets in the images you can see relating fabric manipulation I created for this project; I tried to link the colours I dyed the fabric with the sheet work. I am very happy with these two sheets I have produced, I am extremely pleased with the colours I used and how I have adapted and developed them. These sheets have also gave me an idea on what colour choices I could use for sampling. 

 

This next image is showing my visual sheet for Sea Urhcin and Battle Starfish. The colours I have used for this sheet I have linked in with the relating mood board. I do not like this sheet it just did not go well for me at all, I had an idea in my mind and it didn't turn out how I wanted it too. The lines didn't come out as neat as I would of liked them to be and overall this sheet made me realise I did not want to take this idea into a final design. It wasn't as though I did try my hardest to complete this sheet as I did, it just didn't turn out how I was hoping and with time issues I didn't want to delay myself to reproduce it.

 

 

This final image is my development for the above visual sheet. I decided to develop the colours I used on the visual sheet for example making the Sea Urchin shape colour darker and producing a more pastel pink and purple for the Battle Starfish lines. I also made the Battle Starfish lines thicker than what I did for the visual sheet. I started by painting the Sea Urchin shapes, however I got messy with the lines, therefore I cut them out and coloured a new A3 sheet piece of paper orange (Brusho's) and stuck them on. Again this is not one of my favourite sheets I have produced; however I am happy with this sheet more than the connecting visual sheet.
