Any tips on the art of?

I photoshop/illustrator stencil/outline many of my pieces first. Is this what some of y'all have used - using P-shop layers as Screenprint layers?

I haven't done a lot of screenprinting and humbly seek your advice.

  • I have taught screenprinting a long time as part of the printmaking curriculum where I work. However, I was never truly fond of it as an art form. I noticed a few years back that a lot of people who profess to be printmakers are not fond of screenprinting at all. They make cruel jokes about it at conferences. I do agree that photoshop provides a opportunity to explore a lot of options with imagery which is appropriate for screen printing.
