Rothko + color paper

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

I discovered Mark Rothko at a television program and I found that his colors and borders are look like color film accidents.
You know , chemicals , light draw similar micro pictures on negatives.
And Claudia Wornum do this kind of experiments with solarization and creates magneficient colors but I think the problem is her interest to fuji and fuji creates pasific undersea colors or some not beatiful metal oxide colors like malachite.
I love kodak colors or more harmonic colors.
May be I can buy some color papers , put together and photograph but I want something deep , related to paper layers and chemical reactions.
I want some Rothko like strong colors and straight lines .
Please advise me some green chemicals and a way to play with color chemicals inside the paper.
I need most green , healthy chemical recipe.
It must not fume cancerogen chemicals or stay inside of pipes and react with other chemicals.

Best ,

His paints are something not very sharp and blur creates emotional senses.
I think ready color paper developers are expensive and I need cheap way for play with colors.

I do not know anything about color paper and it's related chemical processes, but I have gotten some Rothko-like prints from cross-processed Fuji Sensia 100.

I'd get RA-4 kit, and use enlarger with color head, some lighting filters (kind often called "gels"), maybe b&w developer and bleach. Then I'd have fun.

Hi,

Materials like crepe paper and some fabrics can look vibrant when backlit; you could try photographing those on a high-saturation colour film. De-focus for blur - or do that in the darkroom - then print. That would be a more reliable approach than messing about with chemicals alone. I can't point you towards 'green' chemicals, but most are safe to dispose of down the drain at low volumes.

Make colour fotograms, use different coloured filters, glass, junk, etc. and experiment with chemicals. Experiment is the key word here I think....
