Colour Specifics
|
Yellow Mx8G and Turquoise MXG
|
What worked?
|
I did a variety of prints that were completed with 2 different
coloured images of a person in my family. I used an older image of that
person and a younger one, using the reactive dyes meant that both images
would be seen but not in this case.
|
What went wrong and could be improved?
|
Because I put the lighter colour down first for the younger image and
the darker turquoise over the top for the older image, the younger image is
slightly difficult to see. The Yellow Mx8G is bright that it takes away from
the detail, it blends into the fabric.
|
Notes
|
Change the Yellow mix to a darker shade. I began doing these prints
as a way of showing an Alzheimer’s persons confusion in remembering recent
faces, compared to remembering a face from the past which is more familiar to
them.

Colour Specifics

Red MX8B and Yellow MX8G and Blue MXG mixed together to make a light,
leaf green.
|
What worked?
|
My little brothers prints have always worked out well, I think it
might be the positions he was photographed in. The younger and older image
contrasted each other because the angles of his head went the opposite ways,
I think this became I positive in the end, both faces can be seen clearly.

Notes
|
People say ‘Red and Green, Never to be seen’, but this colour
combination works really well together, better than any other colour
combination so far.
