I found burnishing makes my paper have the opposite effect of bleeding. Bleeding soaks a lot of ink but after burnishing egg white + alum coating paper I find that ink refuses to stick on the paper and the paper acts as hydrophobic surface. Any remedy for this?
What is the purpose of the black tea? And why not just use a commercially sized, smooth hot press paper? Is it just about preserving tradition or are there genuine benefits of this approach over anything commercially available?
Even if it s the tradition thé reason why they apply this tea is to give it this color. Overtime your White paper normally Will turn yellow so the Will stabelise it to this tint.that what i heard .
@@mazaito8111 Interesting. Yellowing of paper isn't a problem if acid-free archival paper is used. If the paper is archival, then the use of the tea to simply colour the paper would make sense. I'm just wondering whether the tea serves any other functional process?
Please tell me, how many layers of egg whites are required? And some people use corn flour for paper sizing. They cook corn flour , Do you know process of that also?
It really depends on the room temperature, but it does not take too long. An hour or two. Touch it and you will know if it's dry or not. Yes I use it right after it's dry

I heard of the corn starch process and I heard it's even better than the eggs, but I don't know it well. I apply one even layer
You should ideally apply two layers of egg white
How long will the papers take to dry out ? İ mean , do u use immediately after drying ?
It really depends on the room temperature, but it does not take too long. An hour or two. Touch it and you will know if it's dry or not. Yes I use it right after it's dry
Tool substitute? I don’t have this tool :( guide me ? Plz dear
You can use a smooth seashell to substitute the burnishing tool.
Or buy online
It’s called
Agate burnisher
Agate is a stone
Any shiny rock will do
Do you use cold or hot press paper??
Hot press
Osum
👍👍👍
does the acid in the tea affect how archival the final painting is? can you neutralize it with baking soda before staining the paper with it?
I haven't tried that before, but I don't feel like it affects the paper negatively. You could experiment though!
Hi, is it necessary to stain the paper for tazhib?
I personally like to do it because I paint with white and I think it looks good, but some illuminators don't do this step, so it's really up to you
