Woo this one is involved...

I tea stained the watercolor paper twice, then I painted liquid silver emulsion onto it, then I printed the photograph on (model is myself, actually), and then I bleached the paper (which also bleached the photograph, making it lose some contrast and show the color of the paper underneath), then I stained the entire paper again with photo dyes (green, yellow, violet), bleached again, and dried it. THEN I painted on top of all that with gouache and watercolor (mostly gouache), and also with a .01 Micron black ink pen.

Interesting process. I did you discover the technique? Was it taught to you? My reason for asking is because I've been trying to get more experimental with my work because frankly it's becoming a bit repetitive.

Red is not suitable. Looks bad. If you take it - very beautiful.

And again, I think, in your works is little-scale(great). As if this small pieces of a big work. Try them somehow making (frames, backgrounds).
Good luck!
