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.
