Screenprinting workshop

Below are my positives for the screen printing workshop.

I am creating the background in a gradient colour.

Here is the gradient.

Here is the finished product.

I quite like the outcome that I have produced here. I am a bit disappointed that the colours didn't come out as bright as they should of (i am sure there was too much binder in the paint). The black came out grey but i feel that this was not my fault as it was the workshop staff that measured out the ratios. However I have really enjoyed working with a gradient, i feel that i will definitely consider using this technique in my printed pictures brief. Something else that I think works really well is the repeated pattern- this could work as a wrapping paper or print on a bag or tshirt.

Next time i will definitely measure out my own acrylic/binder ratios so that my black is black and my colour is an optimum brightness! 

Screen printing has been something that I have done for a couple of years now so I didn't really experience many problems. My only problem was that the screen that i was given had a few holes in where I had to cater for this by correctly positioning my positives and taping up the screen once it had been exposed.
