Playing with colour
In the last couple of days or so I have been adding colour to line drawings I have made, using Inktense colour blocks (similar to watercolour) and then manipulating the colours in Photoshop to get the results above. Just playing around and having FUN!

Yes, I agree this is very interesting. I have played with some of my paintings images in PS and found that it openes an artisic door to other creations. PS can offer a door to new creations. I like what you discovered in your own search. Thanks for sharing.

very interesting,Mary,this trick playing with photoshop is great as you don't risk anything and look at the result!!!The fish is fab but also your drawing of Malcom X is much looser and playful and might push you in another direction,keep going...

Thanks Darlene! Inktense blocks are fab. Ingrid - no, I made just one line drawing in each case, coloured it once with the Inktense colours and then manipulated it in Photoshop. I feel the fish was more successful than Malcolm X because I used contrasting colours in the original paper version. But I like what I learned doing this and plan do continue with it for a while at least!

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).
