Artist Copy - Marcus Walters

I decided to do a copy of Marcus Walters print 'Eat Cake'. To copy his method I had to draw three different versions of this picture as it is made using only 3 colours: magenta, cyan and yellow. The other colours seen on this are made from multiplying the layer.

I took my drawings into photoshop and then changed the threshold and took away the background.

I used the shortcut (shift, command, backspace) to choose a colour to make my drawings.

I then changed this one to blue and did this to the other two layers and made them pink and yellow.

I then coloured the background layer and started building it up.

By multiplying the layers when they are stacked it mixes the colours together e.g. pink and blue now makes purple where they are layered on each other. 

Once I had finished layering all of them i tried to get the exact colours used on his print, so i compared mine (left) to Marcus Walters original (right).

This is my final copy of Marcus Walters' 'Eat Cake'.
