Painting on Photos


Recommended Posts

Many moons ago I would handcolor photos with anything I had available. Haven't tried on inkjet papers but darkroom papers colored well with many products depending on the look you want to achieve. water color, acrylics, oils (1 of my favorite), pencils, cloth dyes, inks.....

I came across this one ready to trash a couple days ago.marina3.jpg.d4d2e4a50a938b44f05b5430d59eaf38.jpg

I use Marshall oils for both tinting and painting on matte fibre. Matte really is the only surface to choose, since it has a tooth to gather this oil medium. I also use oil sticks. The more expensive Sennelier oil sticks are more buttery and have more pigment and can more easily be mixed with transparent mediums. I have no experience dyeing photos. Arista is an art company that has similar transparent oils as Marshalls. One aspect that is so damn nice about the whole process of painting or tinting is that a color can be removed (or mostly) with Marlene, which comes with the Marshall sets. Arista has this available too through Dick Blick.F9997A39-C227-4C31-A975-8A8451059F40.thumb.jpeg.6433d2207942f4f8009a3a37d4002a31.jpeg7DDA04E5-4F5A-4B1C-9EF3-E78C89390A21.thumb.jpeg.1ad13775c1029ddfec25c4651cf09919.jpeg

I used to experiment with painting some of my b&w photos using Marshal oils, acrylic and oil paints but gave it up because my results were pathetic. I then experimented with coloring my b&w 35mm and 6x7 negatives with colored felt tip pens and then printing with a color processor on color photo paper. It was fun to do and kept my brain active for a few months. My results were shaky at best but they were the only things I have done that were one of a kind. It was like photoshop on steroids.4887108110_265152e926_o-copy.jpg.4d7f4d34fa8979708b8d86a8903e9ab1.jpg

1-Dye orange 2-Water wash 3-Dye blue 4-Water wash 5-Dye orange 6-Salt bath (in water) 7-Red Dye (5 minutes) 8-Water wash (3 minutes) 9-Stop bath (2 minutes) 10-Salt bath (2 minutes) 11-Stop bath (lowered acetic acid) 12-Salt bath (in water) 13-Water wash

I don't think I will find the carts data, but as soon as I find the Peugeot picture I will show it to you

I found the one about the car:

 

1-Solarization

2-Dye blue (7 minutes)

3-Salt water bath

4-Washing with water

5-Dye green (10 minutes)

6-Salt water bath

7-Washing

 

at that time you could find any product in drugstores (such as potassium ferricyanide or sodium chloride). Now they are strictly prohibited in Spain
