The Finished Print

Two reds, black and green printed

Here is the finished print. The colors in my scan don't do it justice. The reds are more red and the green is lighter when you see it in person.

Green printed alone

I painted screen drawing fluid onto the same screen that I had been using for the three other colors; light red, dark red and black. The drawing fluid was painted wherever I wanted to have green. This included the lines connecting the dark red squares and the stem and a little on the amaryllis.

When that was dry, I spread filler again over the screen, let it dry, washed out the drawing fluid and printed green as shown. This is a good way to make a print using just one screen. The registration needs to be set up just once and you can see the blocked areas on the screen and work from them. This is the method that I will be teaching in the Power House in October. I provide the screen  (and all of the other materials) for each student and eight screen are all that I can manage to bring with me. For more information about this class or to register click here.
