Painting the second stencil

second screen

    After the screen was thoroughly dry, I replaced it onto the backer board and with the original sketch under the screen, I painted everything that was to be any additional color. Strips of mat board were laid under the screen to keep it separated from the sketch. I added little triangles and some lines into the borders and a cipher of my initials next to the trees. When dry, I went through the process of spreading filler, washing out the drawing fluid and drying again before I was ready to print the next color.
    The next color will be a dark purple - dark enough so that the trees read as solid when I print black over them.
    You can see the rectangle of dark red filler that will remain the paper color as well as the margins of the print. These enabled me to place my images in good relationship to the exposed paper.
