Screen Monoprints

Screen Monoprints is a technique using a silkscreen to transfer images onto paper. The medium suggest to use is a water soluble medium, such as watercolors, markers, pastels, as long as nothing hardens inside the screen, thus destroying it. Thinker mediums such as watercolor crayons can be used, but if not careful and applied to think, the mark will not transfer. The image that is to be transferred must be created on the screen, with or with out a matrix on it. The printing process itself is the same, nut using a transparency base, to act as water, and activate the pigment as the image is pulled through, how many pulls affects how the final image comes out, less seems light with a lot of white space, while more gets the pigment through, it also blends more.
