Thank you Viking for you comments!

Gene

Very sweet Gene. Are you still doing workshops and Hopperfests up in Richmond?

Thanks Don. When time and health permit it!

Gene, I don't have the vocabulary to express my thoughts on your wonderful work. I don't want you to explain your technique again. Is there some place in cyberspace you have described your work for lay people?

bromoil print: a photographic image created by bleaching and tanning a black-and-white photograph, then soaking the bleached print (or matrix) in water before applying lithographic ink, usually by brush. The tanning and soaking processes cause the matrix to repel ink from the highlights while allowing ink to build-up proportionally in the midtones and shadows, creating a pigment-based version of the original image.

To produce a bromoil transfer one uses the inked bromoil print as a printing plate, placing it on receptor paper, usually water color paper, and running them through an etching press. A new inking and press pull is required for each color and perfect registration is required.

The above is easier said than done :>)
