Serigraphy often involves a close collaboration between an artist and a printmaker. The original artwork is separated into several layers, and stencils are created for each color. These stencils are used to apply the colors individually in a multi-step process. The printmaker meticulously ensures the colors align with the original artwork. Initial drafts result in artist proofs, which the artist reviews, often suggesting changes. Through this iterative process, the artist and printmaker refine the work until a final artist proof is approved. With the approval, the print run begins. Finally, the artist inspects, signs, and numbers each completed print.
