Re: [BKARTS] Acrylic on tracing paper
You might consider scanning them and printing them with archival inks
on cotton rag paper if you want to include them in a book, for
posterity's interest ; ). Even tho your Art-tec may be acid-free,
it's still going to be full of lignin and hence will get brittle and
probably yellow some over time. Most of my tracing papers have, and I
have drawing tissues and pads from several manufacturers going back
10 or more years. If it was on totally synthetic vellum might it be
more stable?

During a late night artistic blow-out, I made two paintings that I
would like the list's technical assessment of.
They were made with Pentel color markers, colored pencil, and white
acrylic paint on Art-tec tracing paper.
Are they going to dissolve in months? Years? Would I be stupid to
try to include them in a book?
Thanks,
