Final Images

My final idea for remediating one of my lomo 120mm image was to create a stencil(s) and create prints with spraypaint. It involved experimentation with various materials and surfaces which were mainly chosen because they were available. The space they were in sometimes was the reason that the material or surface was chosen. There were three colours chosen to print these with, which were blue, black and yellow. The blue and yellow were used together to create a slightly more detailed image while the black was used as a monotone print. These were decided upon depending on how they contrasted with the material or surface.


Here are my final images for project 3:



































































































































Light and Outside Prints

I have attempted to use the stencils to create a light painting print though it requires the stencil to sit very still. Here is an image of the outcome:











































Thinking of more surfaces I could print onto, I decided to go outside and use a wall. This provides a sense of spatial difference and experience to viewing the image through this type of medium. Here are a couple of views of this print














One More Print With Final Stencils

This next print was done with thick water colouring paper. The advatages of using this type of material is that the paint dries quickly, saving the time have to wait to put on the next coat.

I feel that the white brings out the blue stronger than the black card though the yellow has lost its contrast with the image compared to with the black card.


More Prints With Final Stencils

I have made a few more prints with these stencils, mainly experimentation to see how well the stencils work on different materials. Here they are:

News Paper





















Footpath












Painted Stencils

Here is an image of the stencils on top of each other showing an example of them overlaying each other. (They are in inverted colours to the black card print).

First Prints With Final Stencils

I have started to spraypaint the image onto various surfaces. Starting with black card, concrete and dirt. The black card has turned out the best so far as the stencil could sit right up against it. The other two were only done in black as it stood out the most on them.



Work in progress with the black card.

















This is the final outcome of the black card print. The glossy paint shows up reasonably well with the matte background.


















This was an attempt as spraying onto a concrete block. A slightly failed attempt as the detail barely came through. The was a result of wind and the stencil not being able to sit flush against the surface.









Here I have sprayed onto dirt. This has come through quite well besides the windy weather.












This is a shot further back of the print on the dirt path.

Final Stencils

Here are the two stencils of the final image. One represents the highlights of the image and the other is the midtones. This allows me to overlay them and create a more detailed image.



The stencil on the left is the midtones of the image. Preferably I would use darker colours for this, though it depends on the image I am creating with it.



















This stencil is the highlights of the image
. This will be used second so the detail shows up over the darker tones.
