techniques. I received many great responses. I need some more help on
technique.
I received a copy of "Hurrell's Hollywood Portraits" by Mark Veira for
Christmas based on a response, which I think was left by the author.
The message included a file attachment that provided an article entitled
"The Hollywood Glamour Format: Hurrell's Technique Explained". I have
lost a page. If anyone has a copy of the file or knows how to contact
Veira, please let me know.
On page 53, the text states Hurrell applied powdered graphite to the
emulsion of the negative, then rub it into patterns with a rolled-up
paper called a blending stump. How is this done?
Thanks!

Another toughie for the dribble-meister, but I think I know the answer..
First this topic might border on being off topic and part of your answer
could be in rec. art supplies.com. A blending stump is a very high content
rag-paper rolled into a soft roll (looks like a fat pencil ) and used for
softening effects of graphite used in art drawings Its a standard tool of
the charcoal, pastel artist and found at any supply store. Its name was
derived thus the "stump from paper from wood". Blending it is in the eyes
of the beholder, that's the technique part of this. I have suspicions that
the graphite would stick to the soft darker parts of the emulsion and less
to the acetate....

In the article, Vieira discusses the techniques he uses to replicate the
techniques of Hurrell. I am interested in knowing what are substitutes,
manufacturer and model, for the following Mole-Richardson equipment: a
1000-watt spot light (Baby-Baby), a 750-watt softlight and 250-watt
spotlights (Mini-Moles). Thanks!

in Hollywood, don't have the number handy but should be in
directory.
I believe it's on Highland Avenue, possibly La Brea.
