Making a screenprint

These are the 5 hand drawn films created before I could begin printing at Spudnik Press.

You can see in the left corner that I brought one of my original paintings for color reference while mixing the colors.

Spudnik class and member screens

To start I coated 2 screens with emulsion.

I use the transparent films to burn an image on the screen.

Printing the first color yellow.

The yellow was to transparent so I ended up having to print the yellow twice. I don't print on black paper often and if I did it again I would do it differently.

Printing Red for the second color.
