I've been printing today at the West Yorkshire Print Workshop and am quite pleased with the results. The prints are for the 20:20 print exchange, for which artists are asked to produce a new edition of 25 prints on paper size 20cm x 20cm, (paper size). In return each artist receives a box set of 20 randomly selected prints, (including their own print and 19 others). See http://www.hotbedpress.org/exhibitions/2020-print-exchange/ for more info.
Here's my 'hydrangea' print, a three colour acrylic screenprint:
It's an edition of 36. To be quite honest, I started with 36 pieces of paper fully expecting some wastage - as long as I got 25 good ones, the others didn't really matter. I'm quite suprised but I actually managed 36 decent attempts at the picture, so have 11 'spares' which don't need to be submitted to the 20:20 exchange. In some the colours are less well registered (lined-up), but this really didn't matter ... in fact it quite enhances the image in some ways.
Below is my first attempt at a print for 20:20. Sadly I only got 22 of these that were good enough - so near and yet so far ...
