One silkscreen was published each year as part of the David Shepherd 'Gold Collection'
Due to the lengthy 'hands-on' process of producing a silkscreen print, these titles were published in small numbers
The colours were applied separately, sometimes 30-40 times until complete, and as a result, no two silkscreen prints of the same title are identical.
Silkscreens are generally regarded as between an original painting and a signed limited edition print.

Screen printing is a printing technique where a mesh is used to transfer ink onto a substrate, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil.
A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact.
This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed.
One colour is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multi-coloured image or design.

In 1992, David began a series called the 'Gold Editions' which were high quality produced silkscreen prints, giving much deeper and richer colours
than a usual photo lithograph print. Published on high quality water colour paper and a low edition run of between 200 to 495 prints.
