Structure within pattern prints...


I created prints using the structured pattern found in a leather chair that I had seen in Lanzarote. The materials used are not the usual print making stuff; I used regular watercolour paints and foam board that was drawn into using a sharp pencil. As the foam board was risen was I began drawing with the pencil the indentations became clear but I did worry about whether the foam board would rise back up taking away the pattern but this did not happen. I applied the paint ruff, filling the surface and pressed it down hard on a variety of papers.  
This print below was done on a4 plain white card
 This print was also done on a4 plain white card but repeated symmetrically
The prints did turn out better than I had expected but they still were a bit faded in some areas and very light. The prints are visible and for them to turn out this good for a first try using these materials I was impressed with them.
