Is this what Van Gogh did to relax?
When he wasn't painting, Van Gogh liked to unwind by doing a bit of baking.

I do enjoy creating in other ares besides my Encaustic's from time to time.I have all the tools to do fancy cakes but I'm afraid I'd want to eat them all after:)
I like to invite other Artists to my studio for "play dates" to do encaustics and they usually invite me to come play in their studio the next time we get together. I also love to teach but find that my current demands for work, a full time job. So the occasional "play date" is a great creative outlet and change.And less fattening as well.

No, I can't take credit for this. It's something I found on Pinterest and just got me speculating about what Van Gough might have done in his downtime.

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).
