Screen print? why not!
It has been a really fun and unexpected hobby and skill I have come to really enjoy the last couple months and I hope to continue it later into life. :)
This is a fun little side quest I have been on the last couple months since starting a screen printing class this year!
This is my first screen print ever! It was mainly a learning experience about how to use positive and negative space, blocking out shapes, and getting a feel of transparent versus opaque inks!
This design was definitely more out there for me in terms of aesthetics. I am a person who loves clean lines and flat color — autographic stencils (aka the painterly print) is everything but. Using solely wet materials and reacting to each previous layer to create the next layer. Definitely was a challenge for me, but I loved how it turned out! (also it’s my dog so how could I not love it!)
After the painterly print, I was thrilled to finally do a CMYK process! It is a lot cleaner and it actually gave me a new perspective of how my graphics could be printed in the future! I loved getting to mix my love of music (especially Ariana) with design for this print. :)
This second print used a reductive process between layers to create this scene of what I call “Home”. Inspired by the work of Patrick Caulfield.
