ABOUT GUMOIL
Karl discovered gumoil in 1990 It related to several photographic print making methods of the 19th Century such as gum bichromate and the more recent bromoil. It is a versatile, labor intensive, polychromatic print making process which can yield painterly or photographic results. It allows mono tone or multicolor printing from black & white contact positives. Although unpredictable there is a degree of artist control in this beautiful print making process.
