WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PRINTMAKING (SILKSCREEN PRINTING) AND PAINTING? WHICH DO YOU PREFER AND WHY?
My Reflections: Printmaking is more fun than painting . I prefer printmaking as it is easier and it is something new to me.
HOW WOULD I LIKE TO IMPROVE MY WORK IF I WERE DO MY SILKSCREEN OR PAINTING AGAIN? PLS SPECIFY ONE TYPE.
My Reflections: I could try to mix a colour that is closer to my skin colour for painting as th colour that I mixed out and used in my self-portrait for now is not meeting my standard. Also, I could try to have an outline of my face.
