I really enjoyed this design approach as it has great potential. If you're stuck this is definitely a way to get inspired.
I chose four designs with different metal tubes but also a picture with discarded rubber material to paint. They were printed in black and white on my laser copier because I thought that the ink would run, had I used an inkjet printer. However this meant that the blue or yellow paint didn't seep through to the back. Somehow the ink of the laser printed acted as a resist. Also it was somewhat difficult to paint on top. I mostly used wax crayons (Pentel) or Neocolor Aquarelle II to get the best effects.
Because I didn't want to use up my precious originals I used copies but instead of making a photocopy I took a picture of the painting and then printed it. This gave me better colours to play with. I was amazed as to the results of the prints. They offered a lot of textures and depth. I probably overdid the painting when it came to adding details but enjoyed the process. I love the prints as they are. The photo completely changed rendering the original motiv unrecognizable.
