Thanks for the kind thoughts. I too at times like to play with muddy colours I
am not completely polychromatic, however there is a difference between dull an
muted colour. I often use two conflicting complementaries and play with the
beautiful semi-neutrals so produced. another way is to use only earth colours
for the tricolour printers such as yellow ochre, red ochre, and Prussian blue
or paynes grey. As a general rule it is better to keep your palette clean in
other words do not use black in any shape or form which invariably has a
deadening effect
You can get Cibachrome effects with the traditional gum process, but it is much
easier with my Temperaprint process which was designed for the job in the
first place.
Hope this helps
Pete
