Painting the first stencil

All of the steps that made this print

With my original sketch in register under the screen, I carefully drew pencil lines directly on the screen that would be the light blue area of the print. Then I painted everything that I wanted to be any color with screen drawing fluid.  I left a rectangular space that will remain the paper color. After the drawing fluid was dry and I checked it for pin holes, I spread screen filler over the whole screen. When that was dry, I washed away the drawing fluid, dried it again and printed 6 on a light gray rag paper and 4 on fawn Stonehenge. I also printed on some lighter white paper so that I could save all of  the steps. After printing light blue I washed the screen and let it dry again before going on with the next step. Here is a link to My Manual - it explains, in detail just how to do all of this.
