Artwork description:

The 'Winter Fox' is an eight colour silkscreen print depicting a fox quenching its thirst in the icy shallows of a river which cuts through a snow covered landscape, two crows break the stillness as they take flight.

This silkscreen is hand-printed on 250 gram handmade Italian Rosapina Fabriano and is in a limited edition of 50 and signed by the artist.

A colour silkscreen print is created by building up an image with several layers of individually printed colours. This process is called colour separation. Each colour has its own 'positive' which is made on acetate or tracing paper (see photos for reference) which is then exposed to a UV light with a screen coated in photo-sensitive emulsion.

Materials used:

water based acrylic ink on a heavyweight handmade paper
