Painting ‘Starmaker’

Here’s a short edit which shows a little of the way i’ve been working on more recent screen prints. Here you can see the design being painted onto clear film. This is an alternative method of creating *positives which results in a much more sensitive and tonal print than other methods of exposure. The ink is alcohol based, and you can see that I use mineral spirit to work back into the block areas to create washes. *Positive: an image which is photographically exposed to create a stencil for screen printing www.tomberryart.co.uk
