13. Making the Screen Filler Stencil


I put the layout of my Valentine into its register guides in place under the transparent screen. With the screen separated from the layout with some strips of mat board, I painted all of the areas that I expect to be any color in the final print with screen drawing fluid ( blue) directly on the screen. I used small watercolor brushes and a drawing pen for this. The drawing fluid is water soluble and any mistakes can easily be taken out with plain water. I worked on this until it looked the way that I wanted. Whatever is blue drawing fluid can be printed. Whatever is not blue will be plain paper.
