paris



Hi Loris,

The best gouache paint i use until now was from Lefranc&Bourgeois Linel; i found an adress in Paris :


There is another one, but the french are a bit hesitating to show their teeth in the web (no offend , i tried to order several times stuff  from France , filled in the whole bloody document with date of birth, credit card, name of wife, and the nationality of my granddad, and in the end,  just the message : 'delivering only in France'; but there is a big plus  : i have to go once a year to Paris; with this fabulous TGV.  )
all the best,
Henk

Hi Henk,

My theory would be: IME, first layers tend to adhere/cling to the
support better than later ones, so, when you have put M in the first
place, you got a stronger Magenta color because more magenta remained
on the paper. (If you buy that! That's all that comes into my mind...)

BTW, you have a nice Yellow there; doesn't haze the image. Which Yellow is that?

Regards,
Loris.

Henk, this is interesting, though puzzling to me.  Yes, I've printed in
different orders and the order of printing hasn't made any difference in the
print itself, as long as I've used transparent pigments for each of the
colors, so I can't explain this.  (And the effect of opaque pigments
manifests, IME, as a graininess, coarseness or cloudiness in the image
rather than a difference in the color balance per se, so I don't think
opacity v transparency is an issue here).   Thanks for sharing, I'll have to
think about this.  What are your pigments?

Nice print, by the way.

Dear List,
I made two tri-color gum prints from the same negs, with the same pigments
and  the same paper, just a different order:
Normally i start with Yellow, Magenta and Cyan, and just repeat the
process if i feel to do so.
When making this print, the Magenta didn't work for me, so i started with
Magenta, followed by Cyan and Yellow.
I was astonished with the big difference.
The Y,M,C :


The M,C,Y :


Even several extra Magenta layers did not changed the result comparable to
the M,C,Y one.
Just curious if the list had some experience in changing just the order of
working.

Hope list is still alive ,
cheers,
Henk
