About This Book

A practical manual that provides step-by-step instruction for making bromoil and bromoil-transfer prints, beginning with selection and testing of bromide papers, exposure, development, and fixation to produce a suitable relief. It details removal of the silver image through bleaching and intermediate drying while stressing control of bleaching, tanning, and soaking temperatures. The bulk of the book covers inking methods, brushes, inks, rollers, supports, and working techniques to achieve varied tonal characters, including hard, soft, sketch, and polychrome approaches, plus retouching and after-treatment. Several transfer procedures are explained, along with equipment options and guidance on ink formulation and grinding, and a comparison of oil and bromoil methods.
