The dark pulls out the awesome colors in this piece. What variety yet, it is focused."

crystal korzep replied to Greef's discussion Gary's Monthly Painting Challenge - The Jungle in the group Challenge Group"Cynthia,
Your piece is working really well as a composition. I wonder if adding any print of some sort would be good to impliment in this piece as another layer. I would just keep working on layers.

Where do you get this bitumen asphalt stuff? I remember you mentioning it way back when over a year ago when I was reading, but I just can't remember.
Thank you,
Crystal"

Anna Emert said… - Hey thanks for all the nice comments. The question you asked about the painting. The ones where I use joint compound I use a Gesso board or a plywood.

Wendy Johnson said… - Hi Crystal, luv your style both in your layering artworks and in your photos. If you have any problems uploading photos, just try again. Sometimes Ning is a bit difficult when the system is at a high active time. Don't worry if your photos end up going in the challenge section twice, I can always delete the extra set. Look forward to seeing more of 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).
