salt no. 1
This is my first attempt at Salt Printmaking.
The negative is FP4 processed in Pyrocat HD.
The paper used: Canson Universal Sketch pad.
The paper was salted with Ammonium chloride in Knox gelatin. Both the salted gelatin and the Silver nitrate were painted on using foam brushes from the local hardware, brushing both horizontally and vertically. The salted gelatin was applied twice, allowing it to dry between coats.
The print was gold toned for 10 minutes before fixing, and waxed after it was washed and dried.
