For my final project in my printmaking class, I decided to go for a more abstract version of tree leaves with branches and birds. Since the leaves had different degrees of intensity, they needed to be processed in Photoshop as halftones first (images made up of smaller dots) and then printed on clear film. Once I started the screen-printing process, things turned out quite differently yet pleasing from what I imagined. Mixing the variety of colors for blending was fun, and the halftone effect turned out to make for quite interesting and colorful results.
The top left image is my original vision drawn in Procreate in three separate layers, while the rest are my favorite screen-prints of the halftones.
