If you're new to screen printing, how do you decide what technique is right for you? Put simply, the Drawing Fluid and Screen Filler method of screen printing is a direct, low-tech technique where you paint your image with the water-soluble Drawing Fluid (like a resist), then apply the waterproof Screen Filler over the entire screen. After drying, the Drawing Fluid is washed out, leaving a stencil where the ink can pass through. It's ideal for hand-drawn designs and creates a painterly quality without photomechanical steps, using the fluid to mask areas you want to print and the filler to block everything else.
