Next, I attempted to layer my prints over a watercolor portrait I painted. I wanted to try and see if I could add both texture and depth visually as well as conceptually.
I wanted to play with the idea of ‘daydream first’, having the subject matter be in the lowest layer, with my character lino blocks printed on above, appearing to be almost a fleeting dream of the girl amongst the flowers. I found this experiment really enjoyable, and applied a similar layering technique in my final prints as a result.
