About the Artist
Further drawing, then watercolour tutoring in the late 70s from Joy Redman who was taught with Jeffery Smart.
After a gap of some 30 years, I was introduced back into the arts to further my studies under the direction of Graham Benson-Smith (Suburban Art) with the Port Adelaide Community Art Centre, where I feel that my work has heightened.
I enjoy working with all mediums covering any subject matter.

Buddy White said… - Thanks for the birthday wishes. As the saying goes: I'm still playing with a full deck, but I'm shuffling a little slower these days.

- Well, I finally have something posted. Trying to learn a few navigation skills.
I was on a photo site for such a long time, it takes a bit to change gears.
I'm enjoying your work!

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

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).
