The third stencil

Drawing fluid for third stencil

The next color that I will print will be black. Again, with my original sketch underneath the screen, I painted drawing fluid wherever I wanted to have any additional colors. With the screen filler that is on the screen it is easy to see just where to paint the blue drawing fluid. I left space for the purple to show and painted the centers of the small triangles and into the lines at the top and bottom. I painted over the tree trunks, but not my initials. Then I repeated the steps of drying, spreading filler, drying, washing out the drawing fluid and drying again. The pattern is very evident at this point. Everything that is painted with the blue drawing fluid will be printed black.

You can see the outline of the print and the rectangular space on the screen - this was before I spread the filler for the third time.

This is the method that I will be teaching at the newly restored Power House on the Roycroft Campus on Sat & Sun, Oct 27 & 28. For more information click here.
