I printed out the latest batch of formulas & hints for pigment for carbon
tissue and brought to Carmen, and am about to add sumi in green bottle
to an order from Daniel Smith for her...
But she, reading the formulas, which often take nearly a whole tube of
paint for one sheet of tissue, and being on a student budget, was
particularly interested in Terry's suggestion of dry pigment black --
about 10 grams per 100 cc gelatine.
She can get a pound of black pigment for $5 at the school store. She
asked me, and I said I'd "ask the list", does the pigment have to be
worked into the gelatine first in some special way? I recall Sandy King
saying something about a blender..... is that necessary?
TKIA
and cheers,
Judy
