This is a cyanotype from a 8x10 Arista Lith negative. My scanner cut out some white space around the edges so the original if framed better. But I am real happy with the way the texture turned out.
Nice job. How do you color BW with a Wacom so it doesn't bleed? For example the red on the Coke sign yet the lettering remains white?Originally Posted by darr
Ebony RSW + Nikon Nikkor 90/8 + CatLabs X Film 80 II (colorized) + 510 Pyro semi-stand
Using a Wacom pen and PS, I colorize some of my B&W work for fun. I no longer choose to shoot color film (digital replaced that for me), but I miss transparencies.
I am new to the CatLabs X Film 80 II, and it is okay if anyone wants to know, as I took a chance with it and could not find where anyone shot it and then posted about it.
Lots of green dye left in the prewash. I washed it out three times with a 3-minute wait between two 2-minute baths of gentle agitation (Paterson tank/MOD54 reel).
Shot the film close to 80 asa, and I usually bracket another sheet about a stop more with B&W film for an extra negative in case of damage, etc. The film did well at box speed.

That seems difficult to do also the leaves on the tree with the sky background.
Are their Wacoms that have screens that you can use the tool on rather than just a blank pad?

Maybe there are, I do not know, as the medium size board and pen I use are old and well-used (scrapped up), three models back probably, and purchased used.
Before digital, I applied Dr. Martin Dyes and Marshall's Photo Oils directly on prints, so I went into developing a technique in PS that I adopted from hand-coloring prints.
The negative is 4x5" and digitized using my 50mg digital back, making it very large and great for enlarging while I work.
I set my colors between 10-20% opaque to mimic the transparency of the dyes and oils I am accustomed to using on a print.
And the rest is history. Practice makes perfect, or what I would edit and say, "makes good technique."
You're very good. I first saw hand painted photos when I was a kid and the formal family shots were done on BW film. Then the artist would paint in skin colors and rosy red cheeks especially on children's shots like the one of my sister and me pictured below.Maybe there are, I do not know, as the medium size board and pen I use are old and well-used (scrapped up), three models back probably, and purchased used.

Then I ran into it again when I visited Clyde Butcher's gallery in Venice Florida. His wife Nicki, an artist in her own right, colors BW photos. We bought a couple when there and mounted them on our walls at home. Recently she put together a book of her work that I bought as a gift for my wife who was the one who bought her work when we were there originally. The book is done so professionally. Beside the work, the binder, pages, prints, everything about it is first class and at a reasonable price. You might want to take a look at it. Best regards.
