Markus Ferris you actually can, it's not very hard to make a diy set-up similar to hers, you just need some mesh, sticks, nails to keep the sticks together, glue or some other option to keep the mesh on the wooden sticks (make sure you stretch it out reaaaaally well but without it getting torn) and the hinges are optional, just try to have all the layers lined up correctly before printing. The inks are a little bit more on the pricey side but I think the result is worth it. And there is the photosensitive emulsion as well... I recently tried this method during a summer school programme (with more professional equipment than the setup I described though) and the end result was beautiful -I was so pleased that I am seriously considering giving screenprinting/silkprinting a chance for making artworks to sell.
I was fortunate to be friends with Andy in the 70s I was in art school at school of visual arts SVA I was invited to an art show and met him , he invited me to his show , studio. A unique man. He helped me through the maze of the art field. A special time in NYC then
Interesting comment. I did some screen printing for him back then. I never bought in to what he was about, that lifestyle, etc. I suppose I could have ended up wealthy had I "planned" to acquire a lot of his prints directly, but held true to my standards. Oh well, I ended up very successful from other avenues. At that time, I did not realize that he and that whole era of hangers-on would soon all be gone.
wow... this was so cool I think I looked at Warhol in the past and internally said, "oh that's simple" -- holy crap, it is not!! this is actually quite awesome. I have a whole new appreciation. this series makes an artists work really come alive for me. it unlocks something in your mind that allows you to see things you otherwise wouldn't. thanks for this.
FACT: WARHOL DIDN'T DO. THE. SCREEN PRINTING RATHER HE HAD A BUNCH OF. FRIENDS AND AND ADDICTS AND BOYS/HUSTLERS. ALL. HIGH AF WHO DID THE WORK FOR HIM. AND LATER HE WOULD. SIGN. THE PRINTS WITH A BLACK PERMANENT MARKER.
@@samaraisnt true, but when you buy stuff on amazon you know that it wasn't made by bezos rather bezos just created and owns the company vs warhol, when you see a work of art by "warhol" in an art museum or read about one of his prints selling at sotheby's for 20 million dollars people assume that the work was actually done by warhol himself which couldn't be further from the truth.
omg why am I only seeing this video now, it answered so much questions I had and offered me a new direction of my art portfolio . If I got accepted next semester I'll give this video full credit lmao
Very cool style to expose how its done. I've always just went to the copy store, printed paper and incorporated it as is and add paint or use a transfer to clear gloss and paste into a painting. Thanks for sharing! I used to sell Warhol prints for a year in a gallery. :)
not really. I mean artists paint pictures and painted paintings can take weeks or months or years! She basically made her art prints in an afternoon! Its like the last stop on the art train before you pull into the lazy art ghetto of just printing digital prints on your Epson!!!! I love digital prints too...but this process seems to maintain a bit of physical craft to image making process which instills some sense of authenticity and truth which is kind of absent in digital printing.
When you said you wash your screen clean of ink, what do you recommend using for this? There are a few products out there and I'm curious what folks like, what works and what products people are using for clean up. Cheers.
I saw a video where it looks like Warhol put the black down first. It seems like a good way to make copies of your paintings where you could make multiples and keep most of your original paintings. But then again it seems really complicated. I wish someone would explain it a little clearer.
There are many different sizes of screen prints. It’s fairly easy to. You don’t necessarily have to do more than one or two colors. It’s actually fairly easy.
Yes it's okay, this kind of an emulsion is not that sensitive like photoemulsion which used on photopapers. Problems starts over 10 minutes appromixetly. As you can see in the video after you apply the emulsion coat you put it to some dark space to dry it. So it's not a big problem but of course do not take it to sunlight
Yes you need a drying cabet but it's enough if it's just some kind of a dark space because the emulsion is sensitive to light and the emaulsion coat takes 15 minutes approximetly to dry. Exposure unit is important because you know the details like UV strength and times, but you can use sunlight too.
I like this technique but I work using oil paint. Equipment looks kind of expensive. Do you know of a source to buy the minimum screens necessary to do this?
wow at my first time t have seen Warhol’s painting i thought he was master of draw:) but after see this i really think he is so creative smart and real genius🙏 love pop art
One thing she didn't mention here is that screens come with different mesh sizes. They higher the thread count on the mesh means that higher details can be captured when exposing the emulsion. You can expose even the tiniest details with light if you have the correct mesh. I haven't done a great job explaining this, but I have printed for 10+ years. read a better explanation here www.screenprinting.com/screen-printing-mesh-size-information-1
the image is made of tiny dots that create the illusion of grey but its just a fine pattern of dots of varying densities This visual technology reaches all the way back to Seruat, Monet, and Van Gogh
I'm pretty sure they didn't use photoshop or light sensitive emulsion in the mid 1960's. Warhol famously didn't use register marks for his screen prints, hence the unregistered look of his multiple colour prints.
Why would you think that emulsion wasn't used in the 60s ? All it takes is the photo being printed on a transparent medium. Photoshop just allows for faster and easier control on contrast. The only difference is that back then the tweaks to the BW image would have been taken care of by the photo lab producing the master.
Hi I hope you get this message as it's a while ago you posted this video. I would like to know why you didn't have to have a darkroom to put the image on the silk screen as everything seemed to be in the daylight in the video. Please let me know. Great video. Thanks Matt
Gerardo Dalchiele Lueiro It’s acrylic paint mixed with a substance that prevents the paint from drying too quickly and clogging up the silkscreen mesh.
there’s nothing better and more stressful than screen printing in a classroom full of other people screen printing
eli hauser This comment spoke to my soul
“better and more stressful”?
Jajaaaa
100 % .... It's amazing when it all comes together but when it doesn't it's horrendous 😂🙈

This is the cleanest screenprinting studio I've ever seen in my life.
LOL
confirmed
exactly lol 😀😀

Oh okay. Let me just go ahead and try this in my apartment.

Make smaller screens. Look up Mod Podge silk screen I do that in a small room.
It looks like socialized old form of printing.
Can you do it with a printed piece of paper and baby oil? I remember creating something like this for a T-shirt but forgot the DIY process.
I’ve done it. Not that big a deal, you just need to plan ahead and know what you’re doing.
Was searching for a quick diy tutorial. Looks like I just need a small factory and then I can get at

@@ronneyrendon5045 yeah lol. like saying bezos runs every package; there's a reason he called it "The Factory"!!

I'm so lucky to have seen these works in the museum itself 🙏

“As Artists, we never know how it’s going to turn out. And THAT’S where the excitement lies!”
i love it when youtube recommends me new channels with good content
more process videos please! you never find process videos like these in a fine arts context. thanks!
Silkscreen is a more difficult and complicated task than I thought before! Thank for the video.
Thanks. This was very instructional. I had no idea before this video about how Warhol made those iconic prints of his.
Warhol was brilliant. Can’t wait to go and see the exhibition in Jan. 👍
omg why am I only seeing this video now, it answered so much questions I had and offered me a new direction of my art portfolio . If I got accepted next semester I'll give this video full credit lmao
I just finished reading Susie Hodge's "The short story of art" and came here to understand how silkscreen is made. Great explanation, thanks!
Very cool style to expose how its done. I've always just went to the copy store, printed paper and incorporated it as is and add paint or use a transfer to clear gloss and paste into a painting. Thanks for sharing! I used to sell Warhol prints for a year in a gallery. :)
yup thpught the same! feels simpler but i suspect warhol had a more streamlined efficient way to SS print tbh.
@@samaraisnt good point. I’m also wondering how this process would work for some of his large works.
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de crear este vídeo. Me inspiró mucho
Good tutorial
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve never seen a squeegee holder (between pulls) like that before.
Very informative.
I'm assuming you can but just to make sure, you can use the same method for shirts right????? or at least similar, to get the same effect?
That was A LOT OF WORK..also to mention the equipments she used. The only thing i have right now is amazement..
Great tutorial ! Thanks ❤
Congratulations. You are a very good teacher . Love your vídeo !
Learned this in high school & did a local folk bands shirts soon afterwards.
☀️🌻Thank you very much for the interesting art movie . 🌻☀️
Thanks for showing this process!
That takes some dedication. The process makes me feel a bit anxious; tedious to the superb.
That is why Warhol hired artists to do it for him.
abstractsbybrian that Tates some dedication
FAR FROM IT - QUICK WAY TO GET LOADS OF WORKS OF ART..
not really. I mean artists paint pictures and painted paintings can take weeks or months or years! She basically made her art prints in an afternoon! Its like the last stop on the art train before you pull into the lazy art ghetto of just printing digital prints on your Epson!!!! I love digital prints too...but this process seems to maintain a bit of physical craft to image making process which instills some sense of authenticity and truth which is kind of absent in digital printing.
well said!
perfect. j'ai appris énormément sur le repérage et comment faire tenir l'écran. merci
Tell us how to print money like Warhol.
When you said you wash your screen clean of ink, what do you recommend using for this? There are a few products out there and I'm curious what folks like, what works and what products people are using for clean up. Cheers.
Oh gosh, this vid makes me miss my silk screen class so much!!! TT TT
I saw a video where it looks like Warhol put the black down first. It seems like a good way to make copies of your paintings where you could make multiples and keep most of your original paintings. But then again it seems really complicated. I wish someone would explain it a little clearer.
but how do you make the black paint into a fade or shaded region of the work? oh my gosh. but thank you for the video! very FUN!
Go Marianne, great demo ,the process is very well explained
Actually Warhol painted the colors by hand directly on the canvas and then did the black screen print over it.
There are many different sizes of screen prints. It’s fairly easy to. You don’t necessarily have to do more than one or two colors. It’s actually fairly easy.
Love it! Looks exciting to do.
I wish I had ideas like him incredible man
now you do! go and make your own stuff!
So beautiful!
Just the best …thanks
what mesh count would you recommend for this process?
I had no idea what was going on in this vid but I enjoyed it thoroughly
Well done. I like your art. Thank you for sharing.
Where’d your get those screens how do I buy them
Can I ask what was the mesh count on your screen?
What is the mesh count for the photo layer?
awesome video
I'd love to get into screen printing. 🤗
Does anyone know what mesh count warhol used in his silkscreens
Awesome video. Love it. I want to try to recreate the results with a digital process.
Thank you so much! Love your work and your video is so helpful!
thank you! this is amazing!
Question: the emulsion is “light sensitive” but you apply it with lights on. Is that ok? Thanks
Yes it's okay, this kind of an emulsion is not that sensitive like photoemulsion which used on photopapers. Problems starts over 10 minutes appromixetly. As you can see in the video after you apply the emulsion coat you put it to some dark space to dry it. So it's not a big problem but of course do not take it to sunlight
what about the offset is this directly on the paper or offset at all?
A great pity not to display the final pictures to see properly !
do you absolutely need an exposure unit and a drying cabinet or can you do it without?
Yes you need a drying cabet but it's enough if it's just some kind of a dark space because the emulsion is sensitive to light and the emaulsion coat takes 15 minutes approximetly to dry. Exposure unit is important because you know the details like UV strength and times, but you can use sunlight too.
amazing video! thank you
Looks like using adobe Photoshop with manual
Maybe that’s where Adobe got the concept for layers :)
Thats essentially what it is hahah
Wish to have studio as big as this
I like this technique but I work using oil paint. Equipment looks kind of expensive. Do you know of a source to buy the minimum screens necessary to do this?
Try using Google.
So how many different screens did you use? I met Andy in 1987 down near Wall Street
What are you printing them on? Just regular paper? Been screen printing shirts for 11 years, just curious of what you put that print on
Great video
No wonder he called it "factory"
Hrnek Bezucha .yes
That and it was a old shoe factory!
Could you say what ink, paper and medium you're using?
hello, what paint did you use? was it acrylic or plastisol?
Excellent, Top 10
wow at my first time t have seen Warhol’s painting i thought he was master of draw:) but after see this i really think he is so creative smart and real genius🙏 love pop art
im confused as the photographic print seemed to have some greyscale in it? wouldn't that not work as the light could still get through the image?
One thing she didn't mention here is that screens come with different mesh sizes.
They higher the thread count on the mesh means that higher details can be captured when exposing the emulsion. You can expose even the tiniest details with light if you have the correct mesh.

hi, what is the drafting film you used?
Does the printing materials have to be in png form with not white but transparent background?
This is a fun video. I'd like to see a more in depth followup from the same artist.
Acetateis a reall good idea !
Where tey get frames so big?
AMAZING!
Your screenprinting skills are Bad Ass!! 😍😎💪💖👏👏👊👐
I have question
Are you using plastisol ink??
AWESOMENESS !
What kind of inks you using?
Now that was super cool!
Great. What kind of paper do you use?
I'm printing in acquarela paper but once printed the paper lose its plain form.
How do you deal with this?
Did she make bitmap image in photoshop or what? And does someone know how warhol made photographic film positives?
Cool!
How much screen?
I'm pretty sure they didn't use photoshop or light sensitive emulsion in the mid 1960's. Warhol famously didn't use register marks for his screen prints, hence the unregistered look of his multiple colour prints.

Yay screenprinting! ❤❤❤
So how are super large pieces done? Some of his works were 8’+ in size?! Sorry if that’s a dumb question!
what screen mesh did you use?
Fantástico
did you intentionally not print a halftoned photo? either way, you got fantastic results. cheers
Hi I hope you get this message as it's a while ago you posted this video. I would like to know why you didn't have to have a darkroom to put the image on the silk screen as everything seemed to be in the daylight in the video. Please let me know. Great video. Thanks Matt
i'm impressed
There goes my hero
Looks so easy, I guess I can do this in my livingroom.
One of the best crafting videos i have watched
It's magic! I’m a French fan of Andy Warhol, I sing his life and his
death "Warhol’s Words", played on my channel!
Very helpfull and interesting video. I have a question what kind of ink do you use?? is a water based ink??? Best regards from Argentina
Gerardo Dalchiele Lueiro It’s acrylic paint mixed with a substance that prevents the paint from drying too quickly and clogging up the silkscreen mesh.
Thanks for your answer
Hello Gerardo,
Acrylic paint is what was used.
no se a que te referís pero las respuesta que esperaba ya las tuve
I learned about Warhol in my art school
Great Video... could the next one just show equipment recommended for the project ...
