Thank you for this lovely demonstration/lesson! From one teacher to another, your pacing and your explanations were excellent. I would love to see another video from you on how to remove and replace screens, so that I can start saving my screens! Thanks again!

Gillian, this is an excellent demonstration! Thank you! I'd like to ask about the screens where you take out the mesh and replace it. My local art store only stocks the fixed screens. Could you post a video about the different screen options please? TFS!!

Thanks for tuning in! We will pass on the recommendation for a screen tutorial to Gillian--she is such a great instructor! In the meantime, we highly recommend following her account on Instagram--such an amazing source of inspiration and information there too

great video thanks. i recently got Speed ball Advanced all in one kit and would like to try direct drawing. the drawing fluid and screen filler is not included in the kit?

[@speedball_art]

thanks so much fort he recent purchase! our all-in-one kit features all you need to create using the photo emulsion method, including light source. we have a separate set that has just the Drawing Fluid and Screen Filler fluids that would be perfect to use in conjunction with all the materials you have in your new kit. Hope that helps!

@@speedball_art soo is that a yes or no? Still confused ..

[@cloudnegativenine]

@@speedball_art can you please elaborate

[@speedball_art]

@@cloudnegativenine The Advanced All in One Kit only includes the full product offering needed to complete the photo emulsion method. The answer to your question is that alternative products would need to be purchased if you wished to do the second method (drawing fluid + screen filler)

Hi Gillian. I left my stencil to dry overnight after putting on the screen filler. I pulled a lovely print the following day but now I can’t wash out the screen filler even after using half a bottle of Screen filler wash. Is my screen ruined?

[@speedball_art]

Hello! Screen filler remover should be able to clean your screen, overnight should not make it too difficult to remove, please email [e-mail] with more information about your issue and they can assist there! Thank you!

did you use acrylic or oil based ink?

[@speedball_art]

The Speedball Poster Black Ink in this video is an acrylic based ink, however we do offer oil based inks as well!
