Rochelle Mayer replied to Mo Godbeer's discussion Add Your Work Here in the group Encaustic Art"Thanks so much Colleen for your comments on my new encaustic "Madame Julie".
A new encaustic the same size is planned, but it is still brewing in my head."
Rochelle Mayer replied to Mo Godbeer's discussion Add Your Work Here in the group Encaustic Art"Hi Janet, Thanks for your comments. The size is 11 x 14 inches, for some reason the system squared it when I downloaded the image.
It had been more than a year since my last encaustic piece, so this piece had quite a bit of…"

Rochelle Mayer replied to Rochelle Mayer's discussion A new Encaustic Art follower in the group Encaustic Art" Thanks for your comments. This painting was quite a challenge, I needed to create a contrast between the dark tunnel and the figure. I fused the wax quite extensively to create the background and then scraped back here and…"

"Thanks for your comments on my encaustic painting. Working figuratively in encaustic is a challenge, and I usually add layers, scrape back, and define my subject by drawing into the warm wax. I usually work and rework a piece until I am…"

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).
