Leaf Printing

This week I have been screen printing! I made a screen with 8 different leaves on it earlier this week, and today I spent the day printing.

I started with a green mixture of 1 part hooker's green and 3 parts printing medium. I gradually varied this colour by adding more medium for lighter coloured leaves.

Then I went on to make a mixture of hooker's green and gold, to create a slight golden yellow tone to the leaves. I also used the same method of adding medium to create lighter coloured leaves. I then proceeded to use burnt umber to create deeper toned leaves.

I printed over 700 leaves today! Pretty awesome.
