Screen Printing

 

The next printing process, which I have produced work in is Screen printing, this is a widely used printing process. To create a Screen printed image, you firstly has to cover a screen mesh in a light sensitive chemical, once on it is left to dry. Once the screen is completely dry, a dark heavy lined drawing or photograph is then exposed onto the screen. After the image is exposed the screen is then washed to remove the rest of the chemical and to show the image on the screen; this is again left to dry. Once the screen is dry it is now ready to print, ink is pulled through the screen mesh and the image is then transferred onto paper. 

When I was printing the image i used a large range of different colours to see that if by changing the colour, it would change the look of the image, however all of the colours created a bold style to the work.
