Screen Prints

Screening is a method of print-making where a stencil is designed and applied  to  a  polyester screen, and then ink or paint is squeegeed across the screen to apply color onto the paper  below the screen.  A print can be developed using one or many stencils and colors.  

I hadn't screened for decades, but am excited to return to this art form again, especially now that water-soluble and less toxic paints and materials can be used.   I use mostly Createx liquid acrylic paints that are formulated for the screening process.  The number of prints made from the same stencils is called an edition, and I indicate the edition quantity  below each print.   This is a manual process, and each print can be slightly different.  The Gardeners at Monticello below is my most ambitious print to date -- it  has over 20 screenings.
