Red Pepper Art

"Red Pepper Art" formerly called the "Not over the Hill Art Group" consists of a group of Cooktown artists that has just relocated to the new Cooktown District Community Centre building. Red Pepper Art meets Wednesdays from 2:00 to 4:30pm. Although under the banner of the sixties and better healthy aging program, any new members are welcome to participate in the art sessions. Interaction with existing members, many of whom are accomplished artists with significant experience is enjoyable and…

Renewing My Art Enthusiasm

Recently started life drawing classes which has given me a renewed enthusiasm for art. We meet in the gallery every Monday and have a model who is very good at the poses and keeping still. We have nine participants and are really enjoying the chance to use a live model. It is so different drawing from life and the nude is so much more fun than still life objects!



Also this week-end I did an Acrylic Art Workshop here in Cooktown titled 'Values in Pencil and Paint' by local Artist Ross… Continue

My Creativity Needs Inspiration! 'Lovin' Mixed Media' - So Refreshing!

I am so lucky to live on a rainforest block with the sounds of nature surrounding my 'art space' but these last few months I haven't been feeling very creative or inspired. I am hoping this is due to the need for a break. I am going on a respite holiday to Brisbane for 27 days in October - as carer for mum who had a stroke 11 years ago I don't get away very often so am looking forward to the change of scene. When I return refreshed I'm hoping for an explosion of creativity!



I was… Continue

Tropical Paradise

Spring has arrived in Cooktown. On the block the male brush turkeys, their bright yellow wattle flapping, are sprinting after every available female. Nest mounds are being refreshed with mulsh and they are gorging on the seeds and fruits of the forest floor.



The agile wallaby's are also in fine form. The males are very attentive to all the females at present. A medium sized wallaby with sandy brown fur and a distinct pale cheek stripe they are very 'cute'. They live in small social… Continue

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).
