Two new bromoils; tried something different

[terri]

I had a couple of "firsts" with this recent bromoil session. I was excited to try a new paper, Kentmere Art Document, which is a paper choice I kept coming across when first studying the technique.

Didn't care for my initial results, so after letting the prints dry overnight, I re-soaked them and added a soft brown ink over the black, using a brayer. This increased the contrast and I liked the sepia-toned effect. Though the prints darkened overall, I was much happier with the end result.

This is a giant sandstone monolith we hiked past in the Kodachrome Basin, southern Utah:

And a view of Bryce Canyon:

Thanks for looking!

Dammit woman! What did I tell you about posting more bromoils. :mrgreen:

It adds an old-western type feel to the photography, especially the first. I like it.

Sorry, Tammy - just don't look next time. :mrgreen:

I like that "old Western" comment. Something about that sepia tone, eh? :thumbup:

Thanks!

I can't help it though. Anytime I see Terri and bromoil in a post together, I'm just drawn to it.

These are neat, I quite like the sepia one, the toning looks great and the added darkness and contrast really makes that tree to the left pop.

Cool as ever, terri.

The first looks like a giant foot. :shock:
