For one of my projects I have set myself over the summer, I am going to re-do my ISTD tales to change the word project. I really wasn’t happy with my original final piece that I submitted for uni and there is no way it is going in my portfolio therefore I am going to do it again, better.
As the story is open to interpretation as to whether the waitress and the chair actually existed, I thought it would be interesting to physically represent this by painting the words onto paper in glue.
I’m going to paint over it with watercolour (or some clever substitution because I left those in Lincoln), in theory the colour won’t stick to the letters and so the words will be revealed.
That will be this evening’s job so stay tuned…
This looks great! If you’re trying to leave behind blank areas from watercolour try Masking fluid too.. you paint it on and it turns into like a gummy sticker, paint over it with watercolour when it’s dry, and then peel it off after to just get the plain white paper back!
Thank you!
Agreed with Jack & I’m excited for the outcome of this!
