Experiment #1; White wash.

Washed out's album is an album I can recommend to anyone who does artsy type things or just wants to cill out, It's very close to the XX's album also but not as good. I love the album artwork of it so I'm going to try and take that to a new level.
  1.  I want to have a background, cut letters out from paper or card and have it say something.
  2. Ater that I want to place the letters over the background and stick them firmly with blue tack or that of the same value.
  3. Then I want to apply a white wash of two parts gouache to one part water.                                                               (This making the gouache a thick slippery mess to apply a good wash over the letters.)
  4. After that is done properly and with no mess ups I want to let it dry completely and then peel the letters off of the background with the wash.
  5. And I should end up with a white backdrop with filled in letters by the previous background chosen.
I'm pretty sure this has been done before and would be easier on photoshop, but I want to have a go in person. Face to face.

Images of my processes; - In order of progress.



As you can tell from the end I gave up with the 'it up' part.
It was too stressful cutting out form newspapers.
