I pour my own, that's the fun part- coming up with these gadawful colors.
Here's one that's blue, on purpose! Phthalocynanine blue and lamp black tissue on lana hp watercolor paper.

Colin,

That is a beautiful image. Are you getting much relief with your method of tissue making?

Thanks very much Sandy. No, not much luck with relief on art paper after drydown. But I do keep quite a bit of relief with the same tissues on fiber photo paper once dry. I wish the art paper would hold the look that is has when wet, very 3-D and a nice smooth even sheen over the entire tonal range. Still looking for the perfect support. I should experiment with warmer FB papers, the neutral ones I've tried haven't matched very well with the tissue colors I like.

Colin,

I think the blue version of this photo makes all the difference. Perfect! I love it.

[Colin Graham]

Thanks guys. Brian, you getting any good stuff with the new format? Looking forward to seeing some.

Sandy, that tree you posted is simply amazing! I have an idea what it looks like in the flesh so to speak.

Colin, I love the tonality you have gotten in the images you have been posting. Try the fiber paper for the final support and you should retain some more relief. that is if the right phase of the moon is upon us!

Time to go develop one.

Unfortunately not enough time to go out and give the 8x20 a run through. I've had it for a month and only made 2 exposures which I haven't even developed yet.
