I laugh in my dreams again
Large work in progress. I played with it a bit on my photo editing software and it gave me a new perspective by bluring the edges and "erasing" some areas. Some areas became harder edged while others softened. I will go back to the painting with a fresh look and new ideas. Happy painting all!!!

it's a 'WOW' piece. and nicely balanced between the enhanced and the blurred areas, and the contrasting coloures. looks like 'noisy' life under water, with the quite soft white foam frothing above it. rich texture. just wow.

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
