I want the printing to appear muted, so I went to a method I used a lot back before I invested in a huge selection of screen printing inks. I am using unscented shaving gel, which dispenses thick and foams up with stirring action. This mixes well with any type of paint. In this case, I am using Jacquard Lumiere. It gives a more subtle, less intense, less distinct print.
The other really nice benefit is that that screens wash out super easily because of the shaving cream in the printing mixture.
Strange and wonderful, Cynthia, can't wait to see the results! How fun!
