505 - screen printing day 4 - Red + Yellow + Silver

The white outline was changed to silver when screen printing to create a contracts with the coloured shinny stock (G.F.Smith paper).
The final outcome was satisfactory, the outline was now also shinny and producing that optical illusion of only being able to see the colours depending on what angle the light was hitting the paper and in what angle your body was positioned. 
The silver colour was really hard to see when screen printing it on to the ****, this was why i chose to use it first. The other colours; Red, Blue and Yellow, were easier to see through the paper and to position on the design.

when using the red paint, some of the final outcomes were satisfactory and others weren’t. The paper moved during the process and the red paint was screen printed wrong on to the stock. This happened on one of the final outcome stock which I kept as experimentation. The red on some of the final outcomes isn’t clear enough and seem to need another layer of painting but this was intended to be avoided purposely due to the red smudging on the paper after too many layers when trying to bring all of the design out.

The yellow paint was then easier to position with the final stock, given that the red paint was easier to see.
The final red shiny stock with the silver, red and yellow paint is almost finished. I will now need to print and prepare a new screen with the last positive with the ‘Euro’, ’50’s and ‘AndalucĂ­a’ in blue.
Before doing this i will screen print the red, blue and silver on to my last blue g.f.smith stock, because I can’t decided on which one I like the most and which coloured stock will give me the best final outcome.
