Screenprinting

This is my first screenprinting project. 

When I was in highschool I refused to take screenprinting lessons because I thought it was useless. Like photography (silly me) I realized this technique is amazing, as well as photography.

I documented the process.

The materials

The design.

I have to say something about theses inks. I used lithographic paint. The red paint is a pain in the ass. It's thick and messy and really hard to work with. The yellow paint is another pain in the ass. Due to its substance the paint is thin and transparent. It takes twice the time to dry. The blue paint is amazing, it's perfect overall. But when I made green paint the yellow took over this cool color.

So here's my 4 hours of pain with the red paint

Forgot to put the paper and I printed the glass

kill the red, kill the red

Linig up the artwork

Bloody red

Blue tryouts

 

Next day. Green

Finally done after so many hours

This is the result. :)

By the way, the illustration was based on "I shot Andy Warhol" movie. Great movie :)
