During lesson we used paint on plastic boards to try and create the decalcomania technique. By placing different paints on the board and mixing them to create different colours I then placed pieces of paper for a few seconds and peeled it off causing different patterns. I will work into some of these patterns.
This is one of the scans. The way the paint stuck to the paper has caused a snake like pattern to appear. I decided to open it up in Photoshop and draw an outline of the shape which I will then work over. This is the outline without the picture. You can clearly see the snake's head and mouth shape.
This is the snake completed as an abstract piece. I decided to stick to the purple colours and colour each empty space and painted space. The very light purple is where the white spaces where and the darker shades of purple are from the paint colour. This took me around 3 hours to do as it required me to paint each section, go over the gaps and fix any mistakes, to then fade it a little and go over areas that required detail.
