Screen print of parrots

I have been making some progress on my main brief. I have chosen to do a set of 5 screen prints that illustrate the nature in the amazon rainforest. I will look at 5 areas:

1. Birds

2. Mammals

3. Insects

4. Reptiles

5. Plants

Above you can see the screen print preparation work. This work is designed using just 3 colours but allowing transparency for them to overlap to create an extra 4 colours- 7 colours in total. I am really pleased with how they are progressing at the moment, they look free flowing and natural to say that they are for screen print. I am happy with the colours too; I spent a lot of time testing colour palettes for colours that would overlap well however none came close to this particular palette.

The next steps are to keep preparing screen prints for each of these categories. Once I have done all of these I will move onto the actual screen printing- this may take a long time, it may be best to propose this and create it after the submission but before the end of year show. Or on the other hand I could just print 1 screen print as an example of how I will print the rest.
