Painting Stories no 5- Screenprint and paint

7/11/2019

0 Comments

 
In this video I talk about the last 2 paintings of the window series inspired by a tropical greenhouse in the Barbican, London. The 2 paintings were painted on top of some screen prints on canvas that were created from some previous sketches. Hear a bit more about each painting's story (30 x 30cms) and why it is important to 'break' a painting although not always easy to do! 
and here are a few pics of the original screen prints meshes of the sketches that underlay some of the background. They were photo transferred onto canvas and combined with some direct printing using gauze and mesh. Can you see the original prints in the paintings :-)
