Process:
This piece was originally created as a mixed media gouache and pastel piece on wood panel. When it was complete I had it professionally photographed and then digitally created the screenprinted layers. For the first layer we apply a glue-like tack in the areas where the glitter sticks. The glitter is then brushed across the print in a rainbow gradient. The glitter layer is then sealed with a clear gloss so that none of the glitter comes off of the print. The next two layers are screenprinted with metallic inks. Prints are then torn down with deckled-edged, blind embossed with our studio chop, and signed and numbered.
