Thanks, Minna. I have ordered the book directly from the bookstore, using
the website you supplied. I had trouble sending the FAX, so I sent my
credit card number in two separate parts by two emails. They emialed me
back for a confirmation, and I think everything is going to work. If anyone
else wants a copy, that is an easy way to get one.

Cheers ..... Charles

Since the subject of selling on the internet has come up a few times, I
thought this might be of interest to some members. I have read the
newsletter before and it has some interesting points that can be useful.
Enjoy,

will see what happens, Vegas is tough for art still, although it is getting
better.

Subject: [Baren 18200] Opaque gouache? 

Hello there,
I am trying to print a lavender color on top of a green background with
transparent pigments. Obviously I am destined for failure as the green will
turn the lavender into a gray color. Has anybody had any luck using gouache
to print opaquely. I am looking for a solution if there is one.
grazie,
Marco

One possible solution Marco ... print that new block twice - first with 
quite a thick opaque white (gofun in Japanese) to 'block' the green.  
Then again with the transparent lavender over that ...

Might work ...

or print with oil based ink and white to make it opaque and mag carbinate as 
well. If you add these to the lavender it should work in oil based. One of 
the things oil based is good for is to print light color over darker one.

hope every body liked the fireman prints on the baren site   it was on of my 
fav wood block projects   meant so much to me.

Subject: [Baren 18203] Re: Opaque gouache? 

Marco,...Have you tried isolating the lower color with something like
acrylic matt medium.I think the idea is not to have the upper color sink
into the lower one. It works in painting. Just a thought.
Good luck,

Hi, Marco -- I agree with Dave's suggestion -- that should work -- one 
other approach...  YES.  Gouache can be used to excellent effect!  Gouache 
can be (depending on pigment strength of the brand) very opaque -- but if 
you use a lot of pressure when printing -- it will 'mix' a bit more with 
whatever was underneath -- you can make the gouache 'stand up' on top of 
the color underneath by printing with a very light pressure of the baren -- 
but subsequent printings in which that area is compressed will tend to push 
the pigment in again...

Hi, Try M.Graham Gouache. It seems to be the densest and prints
beautifully.Also less costly.
Thanks

Subject: [Baren 18208] show w/Ruth Leaf's work 


Hi all.  Yesterday I finally had a chance to go to the Paine Webber building 
in NYC to see a show called "A Century on Paper:  Prints by Art Students 
League Artists 1901-2001".  The show is big and the work is exquisite. They 
also had some tools and materials showing a number of different types of 
printmaking.  Ruth, I found one piece that was yours (which looked great!) 
but I got rushed at the end since I had to return to work - you you have more 
than one piece in the show?  Anyone who is in NYC should stop by and have a 
look at this show, it's up til June 22.  It's in the lobby of the Paine 
Webber building which is around 51 st and 6th avenue.  
Thanks for telling us about this, Ruth!

Hi, everyone! 

Wednesday Don and I visited John's show at the Unicorn Cafe in
Evanston, just south of the Northwestern University Campus. John
does much of his work with beautiful currency
engravings--enlarged!  It is an exceptional show, with much
delicious color and his exquisite detailed carving.  John has
framed his prints in exotic hardwoods and pegged the frames. He
also brought the proof books of his newest (gigantic) project to
show us. He is printing a ceremonial book...and he has most of
the hundred large page/blocks complete! What a wonderful
afternoon!
