Daniel Smith Transparen Watercolour Ground
Has any one used this as a sizing material - I am going to play with this but would be interested in any thoughts.

Albumen print
10x12 X-Ray negative.
Classic albumen on Canson Aquarelle
Double sided X-ray film seems to suit albumen process very well
Coated with a glass puddle pusher
(I've got to work out a better way to coat evenly!)
"Empyrean" ©2016 from Body of work "Light & Essence"
4x6 Pt/Pd print
Arches Platine

I enjoy using a brush. The brush strokes are a favorite of mine.
Preliminary print for consideration of inclusion in Grad Show Gallery Exhibition
Thanks Bob, I am printing a lot of color gum right now, so I just convert to multichannel and that splits the k layer into the CMY correctly. Each color is linearized individually, and the standard print times are different, because cyan is a stop faster than yellow and magenta with the pigments that I am using. I always develop in 75 degree F / 24 degree C water for 30 minutes, with no agitation except for a gentle hit with the hose at the end. end up using a lot of water in the winter, because our pipes cool off real quick when its not flowing. When I do CMY gum over platinum, I just make my platinum negative directly from the K layer in the CMYK file, no editing what so ever. I do all of my editing in the RGB file before I convert it to CMYK. This is how people print their platinum over inkjet prints also, and it keeps everything pretty linear. I mount all of my paper to aluminum also, and the larger prints definitely try to bend the substrate when they are dry, also have to be aware of bubbles on the big prints in the development stage. I have been trying to smooth out my tones in gum, and I think the thickness of the emulsion is one of the major culprits for grain in the print. One of the awesome things about gum printing is that everyone HAS to do it differently, as there are so many variables that cant be standardized between locations. give me a buzz if you want to bounce some ideas around about gum, I have been putting a lot of time into the process recently, and thinking about color carbon as well.
I really don't remember whether I have shown this before, but I can't find it so here it goes....
Painted with light - Negative killed - Liquid emulsion on a large wooden plate - hand coloured using everything from Cyanotype chemistry to silk colours and oil paint...
So...archivally processed then?Originally Posted by gandolfi
Very nice!
Painted with light - negative manipulated - text added ("I dreamt my self a dream last night" in Runer) - liquid emulsion on a big wooden plate - toned and hand coloured...
I like these. A lot. A year ago I would have found them weird - I still do, but in a much better way. I hope you keep exploring!
I do...
What about this one: Painted with light - liquid emulsion on heavy paper - toned and then coloured using oil paint.... (mixed media?)
That's really quite fantastic, gandolfi!
