I realized that after cleaning the screen, I blew out some of the detail of the image. I wouldn't be able to get a nice crisp print like the original painting I did with the drawing fluid. Regardless, I wanted to make the best of what I had left, and I think I managed to get one decent print. My standards have become pretty low at this point...
The lesson I have learned from all of this is as follows:
- choose a design without thin lines in between
- use enough screen filler (I didn't, and I ended up having to coat the screen more than once which is not recommended)
- be careful when washing out the drawing fluid or cleaning the screen so as not to blow out the image
- don't give up
I definitely want to try this again. Despite the mess, I had fun.
