Kudos Paul! Very nice.

It's interesting that the first tricolor gum that satistfied me was a
similar subject and also with paper negatives... (You also were using paper
negatives, right?)

Which pigments are those?

Regards,
Loris.

P.S. The blue is a little bit on the heavy handed side (overall) don't you
think?

Subject: [alt-photo] New tricolor gum

Hi all...

After a lot of work and help from so many people here and elsewhere, I
finally made a tricolor that is very close to an original photograph in
density, contrast and color. Yay!

The image is 9" x 13.5" on Fabriano EW soft press, unsized and unshrunk,
three layers only (yellow-magenta-blue).

The image was really too large to be brave enough to do without a preshrink,
but I registered from the middle and teased it into reluctant submission ;-)
using pushpins.

Thanks to all here, and hoping I can repeat this in the future!

Paul
