Hi everyone! This is my first blog...had no intention of doing this but I wanted to share some new discoveries I made the other day after working on some encaustics. First let me say that I hate to throw away or waste anything that can be used on an art project. I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this! So what to do with the wax on my hot plate. I didn't want to use any of my expensive paper to experiment so I grabbed my freezer paper, which has wax on one side, so that'll work. While…

Patrice Baldwin said… Thanks Pat. I just watched your paintings go by up there. I like them! You're a good painter.
Re: Encaustics. I've tried the technique, but found the surface always cloudy no matter how I tried to put it on thinly. I also found it lumpy looking. Went back to the computer painting.

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).
