Screen Printing: Round 2

This morning, I added the finishing touches to my practice prints. I created a stencil for the Detroit and Windsor skylines and printed them on top of the prints. 

Last time, I mixed the extender into the ink which didn't do much to the opaqueness of the ink. Today, I added just a little bit of ink to the extender and it created a translucent look with the previous colors showing through. I think it is a little bit too translucent this time around but now that I know this works, I can work on perfecting the amount of each that I use. As I said before this is no where near where I want it to be but it seems like a good starting point. These iterations will be great to reference as I continue to develop my designs.
