Toning the Japanese Paper

It is a conservation technique intended to provide aesthetic harmony when mending photographs.

You  need:

• Acrylic colors

• Glass container

• Tray

• Filtered water

• Japanese paper

How to do 

1. Choose the colors that you want to use and mix them with water in a glass container. I wanted to get brown color and I choose yellow ochre, burnt umber light and raw umber.
2. Pour the liquid (colored water) in a tray.
3. Dip the Japanese paper into the colored water and hang it to dry over the night.

 Tips:

• If you color many pieces of Japanese paper, stir the colored water before you dip each of them in the tray.
