Re: tri-color & oil print



Thanks Dave,
Yes it is a tri-color gum, for me there was a certain challenge to try very dark colors with tri-color. There was very little light (ISO 1600) and especially the red in the terracotta  was fascinating.

Henk, very very nice prints!

I love the Marrkech, an oil print so well executed! 

And MAASEIK1 is a tri-color what? Gum?

Subject: tri-color & oil print

.... still working -like mad- for my exhibition next month.

The oilprint (the dentist in Marrakech) is done with a base 
of lith- ink Vermillion and to stiff it adding pure pigment 
Cad Red 'M'.


The tri-color : a few of the famous terracotta warriors from 
China (seen in MAASEIK Belgie)


Cheers,
Henk

ps: Judy, not only the paperbasket is one of my main 
'targets'; also mixing my colors can end up in a real mess...

These are beautiful, Henk.  I love looking at your work; thanks 
for posting these.  I especially like the one-color.  
Was it just 
one coat, one color, or multiple coats, one color?

Ditto ditto ditto on Diana's praise... plus a question... 
Henk: you  
say if you don't like the color you've mixed "down the drain."   
Does that mean you can tell from the mix before printing, or do you 
mean after you've done a coat?  I find the color seems to 
change after 
exposure and development... (tho that may be just my eyesight).

And the Paris street scene was one coat only?   Wow !

best & again, kudos...
