My Emulsion

 

These are my emulsions which I scanned into the computer to put as a blog post. This mixed media approach I feel had positives and negatives.

The positives of my emulstion transfers were that it's such a easy task, all you have to do is paint, stick on then rub it off but I felt that you had to rub a lot off to get the picture to come through and stay but sometimes that meant parts of the picture would rub off as you can see in my first image and second. If your pictures are bright, vintage style I think if the elmusion is done correct it's really lovely as it does bring out some nice colours such as my two bottom images in the second photo with the yellows, browns and light blues. But if you trial it with dark images such as the top two in the second image it doesn't work out very well which was dissapointing.

I did enjoy making this transfer, it wasn't my favourite but I think I will trial it again for my exam piece as a experimentation and a further development to see if I can improve the transfer and see how well it works with different images. I will use brighter images and maybe use more mixture so it is really thick so when rubbing off the paper to reveal the picture it won't take off all the picture and leave marks or bits missing.
