Printing Project Part 2

Our project was to alter a printed piece with art supplies.  I printed a black and white photo on cheap watercolor paper(the good stuff wouldn't go through my printer).  I also printed the same image on a piece of beige wallpaper with a leaf design.  I then hand colored the photo with colored pencil.  I cut pieces from the wallpaper print and collaged them onto the piece where I thought it was appropriate, which was the wall and curtain area in the background.

This is the finished piece.  I'm pretty happy with it.  Adding the printed wallpaper collage was difficult because the ink never dried and I kept wiping it off every time I touched it.

Printing on Substrates Assignment Part 2

I am having the worst time with this assignment.  It hasn't helped that my printer isn't doing well.  I'm going to give it one last attempt tonight and hopefully it will happen.  I want to try printing on hot pressed watercolor paper but am having a terrible time.
