Snoopy, The reason I ask, is that with the Kodak Dry Dye set that I have
they also included a remover. It really required a very little at a time to
work well. I like the Marshall's oils and pencils. I used David Lewis paper
with pencils quite nicely.

Dear Eric,

There is a "white" colour, that can cover things again, well 
somewhat, it depends on how saturated the gelatin is. Otherwise you 
really have to use a "covering" paint..

But I admit I have never used it, I always colour the print very 
slowly and build it up gradually. I try not to make ther paintbrush 
too wet, so that the colour does not flow all over the print.

But my models love the "power" of black and white with a little dab 
of colour - like for the lips, eyeliner or ear-rings. Also if the 
model has very "clear" eyes then painting them light-blue or pale 
green is very stark.

Also if you have a nice b/w landscape then colouring the odd tree or 
rock can be fascinating...

I just checked: the array of 13 colours is about 100 US Dollars or 60 
Euros in real money :-)

Love,
Snoopy
