These sound interesting. Is there a web source that sells them?

Dear Shannon,

in this country we can buy liquid colours which are protein-based (Anilin colours?) and these bond chemically with the gelatin of the paper.

There are about 13 or 15 colours available, different blacks, sepias, black-browns, the primary colours as well as some nice shades (dark green, skin colour etc.) and since they are liquid you can easily mix them.

They basically "preserve" the finish of the paper, i.e. glossy stays glossy and matte stays matte, as the colours really "sink in" and will not wash out even if the print gets wet again.

You apply them with a brush, not pens.

If you want more details, shipment or somesuch let me know.

Love,
Snoopy

I am interested in learning how to hand color silver photographs. Yesterday I did one with a little kit that somebody gave me, with felt tipped pens. It turned out pretty well. But I'd like to learn to use the photo oils. Is there a good book about this?

I looked at some in a store yesterday, and the box said that glossy prints have to be sprayed first before painting, but the one book I have about hand coloring doesn't mention that. Is it true?
