Branches & Sky

This piece was produced as an experiment in testing translucent and opaque inks, thinned with various mediums in order to achieve textured effects. Each stencil was created by hand and although the initial nature of the piece was experimental, it came out quite beautiful. This piece taught me how to achieve beautiful, painterly effects using a screen and a squeegee. You will see these same techniques and effects in the details of “The death of Faith” and “The risk of Security.”
