COMBINATION PRINTING: GUM OVER CYANOTYPE/PALLADIUM/ ZIATYPE
ABOUT THE PROCESS
Gum prints are essentially photographically controlled watercolor prints made in a 19th Century process called gum bichromate. Gum arabic is mixed with watercolor paint and photosensitive dichromate, and painted onto paper. When exposed to light in contact with an enlarged negative, the gum hardens into an image that is “developed” in plain water. The workshop will centre on creating gum prints using Cyanotype, Palladium and Ziatype as a base layer. You will be using traditional and or digital negatives discovering simple was to achieve registration.
