John,

I mixed up some regular transparent water colors like you might use for
underpanting - a thin tint of pigmented blue and ocher and laid a wash down
on some #60(?) Arches.  I dried it with a hair dryer and ran it through the
printer. 
As I recollect, the work I saw in Cleveland looked as if the whole sheet of
8 x 10 paper was given an over-all even pale green tint.  Dang, now you got
me wanting to make some prints.
