Auctiva Emporium: polaemporium

Dear polastore, Ok...so the twins have obviously consumed me. I'm so sorry...I'm just now getting an extra minute here and there, went to review you, and came to the realization that it's already been 90 days for pete's sake! Thank you so, so much for getting the film out speedy quick. Can't believe it was in time for the party!! And you were so sweet to include the "little extras"...the family book and sleeves. You're too kind. If there is a way a can still review you, let me know! Feel free to post this message if you'd like too. I just really appreciated your super quick response to my urgent need for this film! You, once again, made our annual Halloween costume party a huge success. Thank you so very much... - musictherapist1

What exactly is a "watergraph"? It is a watercolor rendering painted over an instant photographic image. MATERIALS YOU NEED: Any Polaroid camera using 600, Polaroid 600 Write-On film, watercolor pencils or water-based pastels, pen and ink, oil pastels, Glue stick, mounting board, mat board, metallic papers and tissue paper. THE PROCESS: After taking the photo, paint directly on the surface of the Write-On Film with water-soluble oil-pastel crayons, or watercolor pencils/tube paints. Use brushes, cotton swabs and toothpicks to blend colors and add texture. Start with the background, painting over it with the lightest colors. Then work toward the foreground, strengthening the pigments as you move forward. Wash diluted pigment over the face, neck and arms, to create the desired effect, while retaining the likeness and features of the subject. Experiment with colors and shadows; wipe mistakes right off the photo. Here is a link to watergraphs: http://www.visualteachingalliance.com/watergrahs/WaterGraphs.HTM
