Chromoskedasic Painting
This morning I was looking through an old copy of View Camera magazine (5th anniversary issue, Sept/Oct 1992) and noticed an article titled, "Chromoskedasic Painting" by Alan W. Bean. I really have no interest in the "process", but thought I would mention the article for those that are. Alan also mentions a related article published in Scientific American around the same time written by Dominic Man-Kit Lam and Bryant W. Rossiter. A reprint of the article can be found here: http://chemigramist.com/chromoskedasic.html though it's not instructive as a "How To". It's brief description of the photo chemical effects. An illustrated PDF of the Scientific American article can be found here (along with a companion article published in the Amateur Scientist column of S.A.): http://www.dominiclam.net/LAM_science/Chromoskedasic1991.pdf Rossiter's name sounded vaguely familiar to me so I Googled and found this reference. http://www.usask.ca/lists/alt-photo-process/1998/alt98b/0993.html The chemicals mentioned in Bean's article probably aren't available any longer but I believe Freestyle has similar chemicals available. Without droning on and on I would suggest to anyone interested to Google "Painting in Color without Pigments". Include the quotes. This will lead you to other pages with more information, not the least of which is Jon Lybrook's old website: http://chemigramist.com/ Don Bryant
