Sometimes I let it dry like that. very nice effect.Eddie Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492020671613766729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-24688209168133342752009-08-12T07:48:06.540-05:002009-08-12T07:48:06.540-05:00Do you lose any line quality when you soak the pho...Do you lose any line quality when you soak the photocopy? i would imagine the toner would soak off a little bit.<br /><br />I have a friend who does something similar but uses one of those little scanner/printer/photocopier things, and I suspect it uses ink and not toner. He also photocopies onto watercolour paper.Matthew Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06954050440829792514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-79471603112541845212009-08-12T06:44:06.830-05:002009-08-12T06:44:06.830-05:00I'm amazed the paper held well enough.

And once or twice I damaged it and made a feature of the damage. <br /><br />Picture and lettering are on the same sheet. I scanned at 600 dpi then separated the two, bitmapping the lettering at 1200.Eddie Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492020671613766729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-21673219275747211252009-08-12T03:32:35.772-05:002009-08-12T03:32:35.772-05:00How are you able to paint watercolour onto photcop...How are you able to paint watercolour onto photcopies without the paper wrinkling? Have you used watercolour paper in the copier (or printer if you scanned and printed them)? Or have you soaked and stretched the paper after coming out of the copier?<br /><br />(Apologies of this is a bit sad, being the second photocopier-based question I have asked!) <br /><br />Ben SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752841194995687278.post-45457348080352452302009-08-12T01:37:15.631-05:002009-08-12T01:37:15.631-05:00Beautiful!
