Sandra's Process
for Silkscreen Prints |
|
|
"Silkscreen prints are created from my original artwork
drawings or paintings. I then take the artwork “apart” by
colors, redesigning it into individual segments for the
multiple printings of each color in a silkscreen press.
A stretched silkscreen is masked off allowing ink to permeate
through onto the paper only in precise locations for each
color. Exact registration of both the colors and the paper
position in the silkscreen press are mandatory for production
of high quality silkscreen prints. Ink is applied to the
screen and forced through the silk by hand with a long rubber
squeegee. This procedure is repeated for each color in the
print and for each print in the edition. I usually limit my
silkscreen print editions to 50 pieces.
Silkscreen printing is a highly graphic process that creates a
strong, colorful piece of artwork."
