I went up to Brandon hill to collect as many leaves as I could to do my back drop printing. The tracing paper I'm using is a3 size and to fill my board I will have to to 9 prints. To get started I set up my printing equipment with the help of a tutor. We mixed a forest green and dark teal colour to make the prints stand out. I then rolled ink onto one of my chosen leaves until I'm sure I've covered all the areas necessarily. I then take my leaf and lay it on top of a sheet of tracing paper. When I'm content with the position of the leaf I place another sheet of tracing paper on top. You can then either use a roller or your hands to get all the details of the veins of the leaf to transfer. I felt like using my hands got better results as shown in the photos above. Final show posts are to come.
