Dear Eric,

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.
In the past I have "lightened" the dyes by using an eraser to rub off
the emlusion a little bit. Then you can put more gelatin back on. It
is bl??dy tedious though.
I susally experiment with prints that are not final and then onbly do
the real print later.
I should think that pencils (like oils) need the matte paper for good results?
Love,
Snoopy

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
