This is why I love our century so much. Legendary musea, explaining how to print like master artists in high quality video format, delivered to your doorstep for free on RUclips.
Markus Ferris you actually can, it's not very hard to make a diy set-up similar to hers, you just need some mesh, sticks, nails to keep the sticks together, glue or some other option to keep the mesh on the wooden sticks (make sure you stretch it out reaaaaally well but without it getting torn) and the hinges are optional, just try to have all the layers lined up correctly before printing. The inks are a little bit more on the pricey side but I think the result is worth it. And there is the photosensitive emulsion as well... I recently tried this method during a summer school programme (with more professional equipment than the setup I described though) and the end result was beautiful -I was so pleased that I am seriously considering giving screenprinting/silkprinting a chance for making artworks to sell.
not really. I mean artists paint pictures and painted paintings can take weeks or months or years! She basically made her art prints in an afternoon! Its like the last stop on the art train before you pull into the lazy art ghetto of just printing digital prints on your Epson!!!! I love digital prints too...but this process seems to maintain a bit of physical craft to image making process which instills some sense of authenticity and truth which is kind of absent in digital printing.
One thing she didn't mention here is that screens come with different mesh sizes. They higher the thread count on the mesh means that higher details can be captured when exposing the emulsion. You can expose even the tiniest details with light if you have the correct mesh. I haven't done a great job explaining this, but I have printed for 10+ years. read a better explanation here www.screenprinting.com/screen-printing-mesh-size-information-1
the image is made of tiny dots that create the illusion of grey but its just a fine pattern of dots of varying densities This visual technology reaches all the way back to Seruat, Monet, and Van Gogh
This video would be better labeled "How to screen print". It has nothing to do with Warhol or what he was trying to do. Looking at Andy as being "painterly" or having "depth of color" is to essentially misunderstand what he doing.
I was fortunate to be friends with Andy in the 70s I was in art school at school of visual arts SVA I was invited to an art show and met him , he invited me to his show , studio. A unique man. He helped me through the maze of the art field. A special time in NYC then
Interesting comment. I did some screen printing for him back then. I never bought in to what he was about, that lifestyle, etc. I suppose I could have ended up wealthy had I "planned" to acquire a lot of his prints directly, but held true to my standards. Oh well, I ended up very successful from other avenues. At that time, I did not realize that he and that whole era of hangers-on would soon all be gone.
wow... this was so cool I think I looked at Warhol in the past and internally said, "oh that's simple" -- holy crap, it is not!! this is actually quite awesome. I have a whole new appreciation. this series makes an artists work really come alive for me. it unlocks something in your mind that allows you to see things you otherwise wouldn't. thanks for this.
FACT: WARHOL DIDN'T DO. THE. SCREEN PRINTING RATHER HE HAD A BUNCH OF. FRIENDS AND AND ADDICTS AND BOYS/HUSTLERS. ALL. HIGH AF WHO DID THE WORK FOR HIM. AND LATER HE WOULD. SIGN. THE PRINTS WITH A BLACK PERMANENT MARKER.
@@samaraisnt true, but when you buy stuff on amazon you know that it wasn't made by bezos rather bezos just created and owns the company vs warhol, when you see a work of art by "warhol" in an art museum or read about one of his prints selling at sotheby's for 20 million dollars people assume that the work was actually done by warhol himself which couldn't be further from the truth.
YOU SHOULD TRY MY 'SCRUNCH' METHOD - VERY SIMPLY - WITH THE PHOTO LAYER, SCREW UP A SHEET OF PAPER, FLATTEN IT OUT AND PRINT ON IT. DONT RECHARCH THE SCREEN BUT THROW AWAY THE SCREWED UP PAPER PRINT AND PRINT ON A NEW SHEET OF PAPER... THIS RESULTS IN A CRACKLE EFFECT AS WHERE THE SCREWED UP PAPER TOUCHED THE SCREEN THE RESULT IS THE LINES...ENJOY..
He was not a true artist. It was more marketing than anything else. He hung out with other pseudo painters and pseudo artists like Yoko Ono. Spanish speakers have a word to define talentless artists. "HAMPARTE"
Piece of cake..what do you need ? $10,000 USD to try this ? btw, it's unlikely that AW did the actual "paintings" himself. They were done by factory assistants.
omg why am I only seeing this video now, it answered so much questions I had and offered me a new direction of my art portfolio . If I got accepted next semester I'll give this video full credit lmao
Very cool style to expose how its done. I've always just went to the copy store, printed paper and incorporated it as is and add paint or use a transfer to clear gloss and paste into a painting. Thanks for sharing! I used to sell Warhol prints for a year in a gallery. :)
When you said you wash your screen clean of ink, what do you recommend using for this? There are a few products out there and I'm curious what folks like, what works and what products people are using for clean up. Cheers.
Yes it's okay, this kind of an emulsion is not that sensitive like photoemulsion which used on photopapers. Problems starts over 10 minutes appromixetly. As you can see in the video after you apply the emulsion coat you put it to some dark space to dry it. So it's not a big problem but of course do not take it to sunlight
We have created a number of films related: "Andy Warhol's Factory People" ...all based on fifty hours of interviews with those who were there with him in the Silver Factory of the 60s. Right now we are editing: How Andy Made a Painting. Hi Tate...are you out there?
I like this technique but I work using oil paint. Equipment looks kind of expensive. Do you know of a source to buy the minimum screens necessary to do this?
I'm pretty sure they didn't use photoshop or light sensitive emulsion in the mid 1960's. Warhol famously didn't use register marks for his screen prints, hence the unregistered look of his multiple colour prints.
Why would you think that emulsion wasn't used in the 60s ? All it takes is the photo being printed on a transparent medium. Photoshop just allows for faster and easier control on contrast. The only difference is that back then the tweaks to the BW image would have been taken care of by the photo lab producing the master.
me clicking on this video: oh neat! wonder if it’s a DIY process to copy his style or something me after a minute of watching: ah. I have absolute no means of doing this myself
there’s nothing better and more stressful than screen printing in a classroom full of other people screen printing
eli hauser This comment spoke to my soul
“better and more stressful”?
Jajaaaa
100 % .... It's amazing when it all comes together but when it doesn't it's horrendous 😂🙈

Was searching for a quick diy tutorial. Looks like I just need a small factory and then I can get at
Oh okay. Let me just go ahead and try this in my apartment.

Make smaller screens. Look up Mod Podge silk screen I do that in a small room.
It looks like socialized old form of printing.
Can you do it with a printed piece of paper and baby oil? I remember creating something like this for a T-shirt but forgot the DIY process.
I’ve done it. Not that big a deal, you just need to plan ahead and know what you’re doing.
This is the cleanest screenprinting studio I've ever seen in my life.
LOL
confirmed
exactly lol 😀😀
Silkscreen is a more difficult and complicated task than I thought before! Thank for the video.
Actually Warhol painted the colors by hand directly on the canvas and then did the black screen print over it.
Thanks. This was very instructional. I had no idea before this video about how Warhol made those iconic prints of his.
That takes some dedication. The process makes me feel a bit anxious; tedious to the superb.
That is why Warhol hired artists to do it for him.
abstractsbybrian that Tates some dedication
FAR FROM IT - QUICK WAY TO GET LOADS OF WORKS OF ART..

well said!
I just finished reading Susie Hodge's "The short story of art" and came here to understand how silkscreen is made. Great explanation, thanks!
Learned this in high school & did a local folk bands shirts soon afterwards.
A great pity not to display the final pictures to see properly !
Ah that lovely squeaky sound of screenprint. Interesting video
Doesn’t seem too beginner friendly, but very interesting.
3:23 The moment I can relate to.
Just the best …thanks
did you intentionally not print a halftoned photo? either way, you got fantastic results. cheers
Love it! Looks exciting to do.
Thank you so much! Love your work and your video is so helpful!
Great Video... could the next one just show equipment recommended for the project ...
Acetateis a reall good idea !
i'm impressed
I'm assuming you can but just to make sure, you can use the same method for shirts right????? or at least similar, to get the same effect?
Great video
For the ink use acrylic paint mix with medium
Love it! I’m also a serigrafista
What are you printing them on? Just regular paper? Been screen printing shirts for 11 years, just curious of what you put that print on
im confused as the photographic print seemed to have some greyscale in it? wouldn't that not work as the light could still get through the image?
One thing she didn't mention here is that screens come with different mesh sizes.
They higher the thread count on the mesh means that higher details can be captured when exposing the emulsion. You can expose even the tiniest details with light if you have the correct mesh.

I would imagine this video is required study for any Andy Warhol art forgers
Well, that was clear as mud.
Artist or mechanic?
Practically incomprehensible but looks good
Could you say what ink, paper and medium you're using?
Saai en emotieloos
What is the mesh count for the photo layer?
what about the offset is this directly on the paper or offset at all?
This video would be better labeled "How to screen print". It has nothing to do with Warhol or what he was trying to do. Looking at Andy as being "painterly" or having "depth of color" is to essentially misunderstand what he doing.
He never moved beyond shop window display...
Ok... but how do I do this if I don’t have a screen printer?
Buy one
WHAT TYPE OF PAPER SHE USE?
what screen mesh did you use?
Buen video
Tell us how to print money like Warhol.

No wonder he called it "factory"
Hrnek Bezucha .yes
That and it was a old shoe factory!
Looks like using adobe Photoshop with manual
Maybe that’s where Adobe got the concept for layers :)
Thats essentially what it is hahah

yup thpught the same! feels simpler but i suspect warhol had a more streamlined efficient way to SS print tbh.
@@samaraisnt good point. I’m also wondering how this process would work for some of his large works.
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de crear este vídeo. Me inspiró mucho
She was sloppy
"a screen printing table can be set up anywhere" So I can just go to Michaels and set all that up real quick in my bedroom😂
Why mimic Warhol? Be bolder. Be original. Be you. (Excellent instructive video)
I really clicked this thinking I'd be able to do this. *But* *I'm* *short* *a* *drying* *cabinet* *and* *exposure* *unit* *fam.* 🤦♂️😔😭
Hmm. Yeah. I'm not gonna be doing this. I mean, I don't have 99% of the equipment anyways.
you didn't mention anything about halftones... you cannot print photorealistic screens without halftones for the shadows.
When you said you wash your screen clean of ink, what do you recommend using for this? There are a few products out there and I'm curious what folks like, what works and what products people are using for clean up. Cheers.
Why would you guys make a series of portraits of the biggest mass murderer in the human history. Just kidding, I know exactly why.
You can never print like Warhol, LOL. Stop trying to copy any artist, work on your own technique and be a master of your own artistic destiny.
I'd love to know why you chose this man as your subject. He was a friend to Bob Marley. A good man it seems.
So how are super large pieces done? Some of his works were 8’+ in size?! Sorry if that’s a dumb question!
May I ask why you chose to do a screen print of the prime minister of Jamaica from the 1970's?!
How to print like Warhol
Get poorly paid staff.
to do it badly.
Anything else is BS
Vocês sabiam que a revolução cultural é altamente contra a prostituição?
Step 1: Con some students into doing everything for you in exchange for "experience."
but how do you make the black paint into a fade or shaded region of the work? oh my gosh. but thank you for the video! very FUN!
I don't want to print like Andy Warhol. I want to sew like Jan Koemas.
The comments on anything art related on youtube are toxic as fuck.
this is cheating why not do it by hand? tracing is the most i would let you slide. but screen printing lol nahh cheating assss andy!
Question: the emulsion is “light sensitive” but you apply it with lights on. Is that ok? Thanks
Yes it's okay, this kind of an emulsion is not that sensitive like photoemulsion which used on photopapers. Problems starts over 10 minutes appromixetly.

O que gran artista increíble no es nada Leonardo ni Miguel angel son unos gatos con parado con estos artistas por cierto es sarcasmo
Here from my ADT teacher 😂😂
I like this technique but I work using oil paint. Equipment looks kind of expensive. Do you know of a source to buy the minimum screens necessary to do this?
Try using Google.
Seems like a pain in the aaaaasssssssss! Think I’ll stick to everything else. 😜
And that's why a Warhol costs much more than hers
Кто пришёл сюда из книги «Искусство для пацанчиков»?
Isn't this the museum that, bought all those bricks? Cool
To expensive for novice who want to go on and create an you need a studio not a spot in my kitchen
Warhol was brilliant. Can’t wait to go and see the exhibition in Jan. 👍
But damn I wish I had seen this when I had access to a full print shop in high school
Congratulations. You are a very good teacher . Love your vídeo !
I think you confuse lazy with painterly

Time to drop $1000 dollars and try out this DIY myself
You don't need $1000. You could do with maybe $300. Do smaller images and it would be even less. Do Mod Podge method and it would cost less then $100.
But you’re not showing how you made the stencil
Did she make bitmap image in photoshop or what? And does someone know how warhol made photographic film positives?
Does the printing materials have to be in png form with not white but transparent background?
me clicking on this video: oh neat! wonder if it’s a DIY process to copy his style or something
me after a minute of watching: ah. I have absolute no means of doing this myself
Lots of artists printers studios will let you rent space and equipment. It is a lot of fun!
Yeah, Fine. But Michael Manley?!
Can I ask what was the mesh count on your screen?
Where’d your get those screens how do I buy them
This is really confusing! 😅 🙈
☀️🌻Thank you very much for the interesting art movie . 🌻☀️
