About the Author- Printing stock and interim crit

I printed on three different stocks to decide which background would work best with my colour choice:
- Grey not very clear- not enough contrast
- White builds a strong contrast with inks and negative space, which creates a dynamic composition
- Cream offers a softer, more ethereal tone, which may be more suitable of Yutang's work

Cream backgrounds:

Feedback:
- Composition was praised, along with the quality of the lino transferred to screen print 
- The cream was slightly more popular than the white stock
- I was concerned about how all five prints were made using the same two colours, but the feedback suggested the same colours throughout worked
- One suggestion was to use a softer grey stock, which is something I need to consider more next time I use traditional print, as I should ensure I collect all the stock I could possibly want use before I start printing

I now need to focus on how to construct my stings, as well as spend more time on my other projects over the Christmas break!
