Steps 1 and 2.

 Above is a selection of printed backgrounds for the new project. There were done on a gelatin plate with a piece of textured wallpaper that I had stuck to cardboard and sealed with shellac.
 The next step was to stencil the poppies, but looking at them here I can see that colours aren't much like the ones my original photo, but who is to know that, and does it really matter?
I wanted the colours to be pretty opaque, so that the background didn't show through, but as the final key stencil will be over the top of all the painting I don't think that a bit of show through texture will matter at all.
