to color the big blow-ups of Peter and the Wolf drawings which were to be used for the film strip. Have you considered using them - diluted in a group of small mayonnaise jars - to color (tint) your photostatic blow-ups of drawing, to be turned into a painting? As you know, Hogarth & Richardson, Daumier and God knows who else, "tinted" their prints. What I am suggesting is that you take one of your big photostated drawings and introduce color - look at it as a "hand colored print". From that, you may get valued suggestions of ways to do the painting of the subject in a way that stems from a reasonable means. After all - over-painting is still being used in printing when transparent colors are over-printed to give the simplest sort of color effects in all contemporary color printing.

I'll not be able to pick up Dr. Martin - at the moment - but I think you should make a test of one of those big photostats I recall from my last distant visit to your botega - atelier - workshop.
