Absolutely beautiful! I've long been a fan of your multi-inking techniques. I see this piece was done on Agfa MCC 118 - I have been wondering what paper will ever be able to replace it!
I was a big fan of Agfa MCC 118 for bromoil. I much preferred it to the non supercoated "bromoil papers." It was like an old friend and impossible to replace. Another victim of the digital revolution! Kentmere recently announced the termination of producing Document Art. We're going through the dark ages of photographic papers it seems and the future doesn't look bright. Cheers! Gene
Looking at your work allways seems to remove me from present time and takes me back to a day gone by,very thought prevoking, and a great and well thought out title.
Wonderful as is your normal standard Gene. I was only thinking last week that it was ages since I had seen you post and hoped that you hadn't moved away from APUG. Glad that this isn't the case and look forward to seeing future instalments of your distinctive art.
Thanks! Actually we just moved away from our house of 25 years, downsized and have been up to our ears packing and unpacking. I have paid the price for being such a pack-rat!!! Thanks! Gene
I don't follow your question. In the bromoil process, stiff greasy inks replace the original silver halides, which were bleached away and the gelatine was tanned to accept the inks selectively. The inks can be brushed on (stippled) or rolled on with a brayer. Does this help?
APUG is a wonderful place, and I am very happy to have found it - however, I would consider my money well spent just for letting me look at these masterpieces of Gene's! Another captivating work of art!
