Well first I shot the photograph on large format film. Then I'm the dark room I painted the emulsion on the paper. I liked all the drippys so I hung it on a clothes line to dry. I tried to print smaller them the negative so it would be all brushstrokey inside the image.

Then you take a piece of glass and put the paper out in the sun with the justice smoothed on it and wait.

One is darker because I guessed the length of a class period (this was my junior year in highschool) and was way wrong so the second I watched more carefully.

Then you just develop it in the darkroom like any normal photo. 🤷🏽

Thanks for explaining, learned something today. Love these oldshool techniques.

😁

I wish I had a dark room in my house I'd love to be doing that again. 🤷🏽

Omg the smell i miss getting high on fumes.

Ah well. Photoshop is still fun.

Same idea.

But I just hand painted it into the paper with a brush. Also mine was clearish blue. Not dark green like all this nonsense

Think so too, blue adds this retro effect .

Yeah. But it was almost invisible really. Like you could tell which side of the paper needed to be facing up. But I was also like "I hope I am putting the negative in the right spot"

Very interesting, will give it a try.
