RE: First Tricolor Gum (on aluminum)
Thanks Christina. I decided to change the yellow -> it's too bright, will switch to earth colors for the next print. I purchased Schmincke's Yellow Raw Ochre (PY42/PY43) and Titanium Gold Ochre (PBr24). Will see how these work. CaCO3 is Calcium Carbonate (chalk, marble powder, ect. ...) I don't know where this journey will lead me but I happen to like more muted colors actually. This first print is too raw/crude for my taste. Best regards, Loris. -----Original Message----- From: Christina Z.

Colorful and funky. What is CaCO3??? I had a student do a tricolor gum senior thesis this semester of Guatemalan people. I could not believe how intriguing they were. I taught her tricolor gums, but her gums look nothing like mine. Hers look like, you know, down in Mexico or whatnot you will see cement walls with flat whitewashey colors, chalky sort of, almost fresco-like? Her gums all looked like these flat painted walls. Which, of course, was perfect for the project. But what it illustrates (again and again) is that the brilliance of gum is the multiple possibilities of expression. Chris
