After my image development, I decided that in order to show the inside of the book on the cover I should create a very uniformed pattern, whilst still showing the individuality of the many different pastas it details through hand made techniques, such as mono printing with stencils. However, since I have not yet had my print induction, I needed to think of other ways I could create that sort of technique, but through using more readily available techniques.
Therefore using my stencils, I experimented with both acrylic and gouache paint, as well as several different application techniques, such as assorted brushes, paper towels, sponges and fingers, before I decided that gouache and a rough stippling brush gave the effect which was most similar to mono printing, and created a very unique appearance.
