VDB Color




Hi,

I'm doing VDB on Arches Aquarelle.
I get different colors sometimes, usually dark brown but also reddish brown sometimes.
Is there a way to control this?
Is there a way to control contrast of the VDB?
Process:
Hake brush to apply VDB
Expose
Wash in plain water for 5 min.
Fix in 5% hypo bath for 5 min.
Wash and dry.

Another question, if I wash the copy to get rid of the VDB solution, why do I have to fix?
There is no more silver in the paper after washing, is there?
Thanks in advance,
Joao
