LLART 377 - Botanical Sketching and Screen Printing

Combine your love of plants and printmaking! Start by learning basic sketching and observation skills by drawing live plants in the first session. Then learn the basics of screen printing, and how to transform your drawing into a silkscreen print with a blended gradient background. We will cover how to coat a screen, how to make a film for exposing the screen, and how to create a beautiful edition of fine art prints using water-based inks and a squeegee to print your image through the mesh of the screen.
