My journey to Bromoil

I’m on my way to Bromoil. The first leg is to master the technique using the liquid emulsion.
This is the first attempt. As you see, I have problems with bobbles in the emulsion and the picture has several injuries due to bad washing routine. Hope to improve and someday I will go further and hoping to end up in Bromoil..

Nice, but I'm not sure what relevance liquid emulsion has to the bromoil process.
 
I've never done Bromoil, but it looks like a good start. I have used liquid emulsion and found a drop or two of Tween 20, from Bostick and Sullivan, helped the bubbles. Also, don't make yourself crazy trying for perfection. Many of these defects in liquid emulsion printing can become part of the charm of the finished product. I think your right to master one aspect at a time. Good luck.
