Painting in photos


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I have been playing around with painting and collage recently, and an

idea occurred to me...

 

Does anyone know if liquid emulsion is compatable with acrylics? If I

wanted to blend liquid light or luminos into areas of a painting and

then shoot something onto it, would the chemistry (developer, fixer)

eat the paints? Might it be possible to mix liquid emulsion into

acrylic mediums?

 

I would just experiment, but I do not have a darkroom right now, and

liquid emulsion is expensive to play with anyway. For now I am having

fun sticking inkjet-printed photos into my paintings.

I don't know about compatibility, per se, but I believe if you painted the liquid emulsion over a white area of your painting, then exposed and developed it, you would get an image. However, I don't know what effect the various photo chemicals (developer, stop, fix) would have on the painting itself. Is acrylic waterproof?
