Screen Print Induction

I struggled to decide on what imagery to use for todays session as none of my work so far really seemed suitable for this process. - i chose an image with a strong composition which i was looking to potentially develop further, and chose 'open wide' image.

- currently created in ink - i wanted to digitalise the image so played around for a bit in photoshop until i got a two tone image with sections of block detail. 

- i then separated the two tone layers into negatives ready for print. simple.
- note; I enjoyed experimenting digitally with the scan in of my print. Gave it a more professional and finalised look. Might consider doing this for more of my designs. Helps me to see how it could be adapted for final imagery.

- I actually think the screen prints turned out to be quite successful, - wasn't sure i expected that since so many seemed to go wrong! - need to practice my technique of using the screen as i was quite bad at it.

- the composition has worked well with details simplified into this digital form. i like the levels of detail - i sometimes forget you can still create refined detail in screen print - often i have just used solid black shapes, - but this has picked up the finer marks well.

- feel that the print would work well with any colour - against black.

- Think that my image is more striking and impactful as a screen print, however you do loose the detail and effect of the texture. - which i think brings a really spooky atmosphere to all my images.

- perhaps screen print isn't the right process for me.... too interested in texture at the moment!
