10. The final color has been printed.


Using the reworked screen from step #4, I painted screen drawing fluid onto the detail of the birds and the tree trunks. I used Future again to make a stencil and printed with a soft brown ink. I painted right over most of the birds and tree trunks, being careful not to put drawing fluid any where else. After printing brown, I was able to add the little bit of rose to the tree on the left.

I made 40 of these prints. The image size is 7" x 10 ". They will go nicely into an 11" x 14" frame.
I think that I will name the edition "In a Glasgow Garden" in homage to Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret McDonald Mackintosh.
