Screen Printing: Getting Experimental.

Once I had determined the best way of transferring the shimmer layer onto each unique print I got a lot more experimental in the way I was applying it. For the image below, I used a separation technique- exposing two different shapes on the screen where colour will be transferred, yet covering one shape with tape to do two different colours.

However on the prints seen below I have painted various pigment binders onto the screen, much like fabric screen printing. I really like the effect this creates - it's not true to the original work but it's very abstract.

After painting on the screen I pulled the same ink through again to create more of a marbled, blended effect. These can be seen below...

After doing these experiments I have produced a fair amount of works, some of which I intend to sell and add to the art auction. On my website they have been logged appropriately e.g:

Paper Type: Southbank smooth, mounted onto Southbank smooth.

Paper Size:70 X 50 CM

Size of Image: 40.5 X 40.4 CM

Ink: Lascaux, black

Shimmer layer pigment: Aurora (flip colour) and iridescent green- BLEND.

Variation No.: 1/1
