Black and blue is a fine combination. There are also water-soluble oils for painting, I recently bought a few to experiment but haven't had the time for it yet. They are supposed to work exactly like traditional oils but turpentine-free.ersimarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898441311620432865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-86398781819623163602013-09-17T21:25:12.129+10:002013-09-17T21:25:12.129+10:00SB - love these images.

No one more surprise than I was. As a traditional printmaker, I always soak my papers before printing - this posed no problem. The thing I need to watch for is that any small spot of ink on my hands after inking plates - dissolved onto the paper as I lifted it from the water bath - it dabbed right off, but obviously one needs to keep completely clean with this ink as it transfers and bleeds into paper very quickly. The background of my engravings was worked with a lot of text as mark making - from fine to heavy line, and none of it seemed to bleed. This was my first try though - I will let you know if I learn anything else relevant about the ink as I go along.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524845044750483894.post-56446679275753143112013-09-05T09:24:51.269+10:002013-09-05T09:24:51.269+10:00thanks Olga - I am hoping to make simple images li...thanks Olga - I am hoping to make simple images like this but on a large format - approximately 40 cms x 60cms.
