There seems to be a lot of different ways to create a stencil using tusche, screen filler and screen painting fluids and you can use these materials in conjunction with other things, such as photo emulsion. You can either use a brush to get a more painterly feel to your stencils, or you can use a squeegee to get a clean edge, or you can splatter the liquid on the screen or any number of techniques. The one that I am most excited about trying out is using screen filler to reverse a photo stencil image. When we first were introduced to the process in class, I felt like the method opened up so many new opportunities to a print.
There are so many different stencils, and to be quite honest I don't even understand how half of them work. But the pencil and graphite stencils seem interesting. I like the control you have when working with those materials. I'm also interested in using the screen painting fluid stencils and tusches. I'm not quite sure what the heck a tusche is. But I like the effects that it produces. The Lascaux Tusche soft - ground effect seems interesting as well because you can use an etching press to take impressions of fabric, leaves, feathers and other collage materials. Half tones interest me as well because of their graphic and comic book like qualities. I enjoy their aesthetic. The tusche washes can create washes and water color tonal gradients.
It is amazing to see all of the different techniques there are in screen printing! I had no idea there were so many options. I find the readings from this book always confuse me at first but once I put them into practice I have one of those aha moments. I think in about every reading we have had they have mentioned this Lascaux Touches, so it will be interesting to really understand what it is. I think I am most excited about the texture options. The frottage was one of my favorites, though it did not use the touches. I also liked the removal of material, the scratching into the surface leaves a nice texture. I am also interested in the addition of materials to make different textures. An example would be the detergent soap or the fine carborundum powder creating the bubbly or broken up texture. I realize I am all over the place with what techniques I want to try, it’s just that this is a whole new world of options for making art that are opening up to me!
As everyone has mentioned already, there are so many different techniques to create stencils. I like the effect that a lot of them give, such as the Lascaux Tusche soft ground effect which creates the effect of a collage. Even though I do not understand how most of them are created and with exactly what techniques, I also like the idea of creating stencils through pencil drawings where the vlue differences would be visible. I think that this one sounds the most interesting to me as I would like to create something that could possibly give the effect of a drawing. Additionally, I have to say that I really enjoyed doing the photo emulsions, in combination with the screen filler, as someone can create almost anything and get very nice effects and results.
There are so many different ways to create stencils and this reading covered some of them with the use of tusches. Honestly, this reading was a bit confusing for me, and I didn't understand entirely all of these techniques. I think what interested me the most was the use of light objects, like feathers, to create stencils. I liked all of the different textural effects you could get with the use of contact paper against a varied surface as well.
The reading was a bit confusing to me also. Some of the techniques that were mentioned were Tusche, screen filler, photo emulsion, and autographic positives. A couple techniques interested me, such as the photocopying of lace and then edited with screen filler and paper stencils. The finished piece makes the flower appear delicate with the piece of lace. Another technique was the Tusche technique involving feathers, leaves and textured cloth. I really liked the textured look on the example of this. The Tusche wash is an example I am most interested in, especially when I read in the article that you can create watercolor tonal gradients. Watercolor appears delicate and I would love to try this technique on one of my projects.
I had never realized that there are so many methods to create stencils on a screen print. Some of which include tusche, which can be used to explore painting techniques. I found this method interesting because you are able to create a painterly style within the print. When I thought of screen printing in the past I always associated these prints as being crisp, clean and graphic so it is nice how tusche can give a totally new affect to screen prints. Other methods that are used include photo emulsion, which I am now very familiar with, Screen filler and fluid stencils are very common methods of creating images onto screens. I really enjoyed the freedom that both of these methods give. With photo emulsion you can create precise images onto the screen which is very satisfying; Whereas with screen filler you can a more hand drawn or even natural aesthetic. Both of these methods can be reversed to add colors to the same image, but reversed. So far my favorite method that I have not only read about from the reading but also used has been using screen filler to create designs. I enjoy how I can make my own changes by simply painting on my desired images. I intend on trying out these new methods of stenciling that I learned from this reading.
All these different types of stencils are so unique, I've never heard of most of them! The photostencil reversals seem super interesting, and I'm looking forward to trying it out. I really love the photo emulsion way of making stencils, I just enjoy how precise it is, and how you can create any photograph into a stencil. I'm curious how the inversion stencil process works, I have some sort of idea but in my head I can't figure out what it would exactly look like. The painting fluid just seems a bit more organic looking, not really what I'm trying to go for in this particular project. Plus the application requires more drawing skills, and I'm better with processes. I feel like I got a little bit lost in the British jargon but hopefully with a little explanation from Rachel, I'll better understand the differences in some of the other processes like tusches mentioned in the reading.
