Printmaking processes can be technically complex, and as we see here, the artist has to know what they're doing, and have a plan to arrive at the finished image. Sunny Kabocha is obviously experienced and skilled, and she's using sophisticated equipment at her school, but silkscreen is a press-free printing method that anyone can try at home with a basic starter kit. We are so glad she created this in-depth look at her process!
Thank you Sunny! I remember I requested and you said you would definitely make a video/tutorial on your silkscreening process! This is the best I've seen on TH-cam, you're amazing Sunny!!
In my visual studies degree, I printed a hard ground etching and transparent (50% transparency base) screen print layers on top. This video brought back lots of memories! Love the prints. :)
I definitely want to get back into silkscreening. I did a little bit a few years ago for the first time in a long time but I wanted to get some more equipment before I got back into it again.
those flames boots are everything 🥰 and the prints look great, i really like when i can see the colour layers not matching perfectly. gives a print more character and individuality😀
Props for posting on art prints as well as t shirts. I print USA flags on everything and would like to print the canton and paint the stripes for obvious reasons.
Yes, you're right. It needs to look like that to achieve the right aesthetic. If it's too perfect, it will look like it was made with a digital printer. My suggestion is to leave at least 1 inch of space around the print and 2 inches at the bottom to place your artist stamp, series information, and signature. Good job!
As a beginner it's better to do *it on 1 side but I believe that you can put the emulsion on both sides (some people do) to be safe in case there is a bit of dust on 1 side; but the time of exposure may be longer
Cool process. I can see why vinyl adhesion from a Cricut cutout is faster and easier. No emulsion, light bed, multiple drying. Way faster. With a CNC router and a drag knife any print size is possible.
I noticed on the pink layer you weren’t always pulling or flooding in an even stroke, what’s the reason for that? And why do multiple strokes sometimes? I’m trying to get better at printing and your work is lovely 😊
that was not well printed don't take advice from me 😭 but sometimes you need to pull multiple strokes bc one isn't enough for the paint to go on the page
I screen printed for over 33 years but still enjoyed watching your entire process. I have to admit I did cringe during some parts but it all comes with experience. I have been working on other printing methods for several years but screen printing is my first love. I like following your progress as an artist and this video was really fun to watch.
Hello, are you already a master's student? Two months ago I finished my degree in visual arts, I still have to graduate, I feel proud of everything I have learned, I love sculpture and screen printing, but I feel very exhausted, I don't know whether to stop for a moment or continue.

Beautiful! How did you know you only had to use 4 colors to copy the digital colors?
Very nice ❤
