This is a serigraph print, number 1 of 4 limited prints. My Dolly is a 2 color black and white screen print with various tones. What is a screen print or also called a serigraph print? It is a technique where a nylon mesh screen is stretched over a wooden frame and an image is then stenciled on the screen. Liquid filler is applied to the screen to block out certain areas that are not to be inked. Ink is then applied to the screen and passed over the entire screen with a squeegee. If more colors are to be applied, the process starts over again by first cleaning the screen, blocking more areas and passing more ink over the screen.
