HOW MANY COLORS.....

when you look at a painting/artwork, how many colors do you see?

when i look at a painting, i look for composition, techniques applied, texture, subject if any, etc. 

however, i have been guilty of not noticing all the color/s in an artwork.  i've decided i want to start paying more attention to color/s.  at first viewing of the piece, of course, i do see color in it. but, i've not really taken the time/thought to really 'see' all the colors.

it is so easy to not really…

WHAT IS IT ABOUT COLOR......?

what is it about color?



what do colors mean to you?



do you have more than one favorite color? why is it your favorite?



do you believe in color theory? red=energy, blue=calm, yellow=inviting, etc.



how do you decide what colors to use in your art? are your choices just random?



do you experiment with mixing colors or are you kind of in a rut of using the same few colors?



i for the most part am a self-taught artist and i know a little about… Continue

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

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIc02QBihJQ&feature=share&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zAPZn5TEyM&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg&index=41

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).
