Thanks Gail,
I just used basic techinques I learned from engraver Tilden Swenson in 1992 in Little Rock arkansas.
The colorant I use are safe water based acrylics that are very durable. Can be used straight for opague look or diluted up to 10 parts water for a translucent effect . Simple water color techniques can be used easily. Scored lines can be grouted with color added or lines outlined with a sharpie. They can also be left natural so the varying light aids shading. No secrets here all it takes is a strong back ! I would be glad to give the colorants name with the permission of the moderator. Would like to send other photos but ran out of alloted space.
Thanks again for the welcome and being a part of the forrum .
