Production notes
Artists comment: The technique used in this print is the simplest, namely, stencils. The use of artist's quality oil colours, with appropriate medium, rather than the limiting range of colour available for commercial silkscreen processes, is of great advantage. By so doing, one can use the painter's palette, enabling unlimited variety of colour of an intensity or subtlety not otherwise possible. A further advantage is that the paint, having more consistency than the more fluid, often too runny, commercial ink is easier to control with the squeegee on the screen.
