[alt-photo] Re: Klein Blue (ping Katherine...)

[Paul Viapiano]

What about trying an intense dry pigment, as this work you've linked to also 
uses?

I haven't ever worked with dry pigments, but every time I run across them in 
some out of the way store they are so intense sitting there in the jar...and 
then I inquire about price...and slink away.
