Re: Tri-Curious Seeks Other Tri-Quad Curious Gummists
I have no experience with gums yet ( although I DID just order Christina's book, which I'm very excited about! ). I do however, have 30 years experience as a painter, including using watercolor pigments with all their wonderful and varied quirks. Do you gum-folk distinguish between more and less opaque pigments, staining pigments, settling pigments ( like cerulean), etc? It seems like understanding those characteristics would be very important to controlling as many variables as possible in a less-than-predictable medium such as gum printing. Of course trial and error can be fun to a degree, and sometimes lead to wonderful accidents :o) I would think that, for someone starting out gumming a good basic book on watercolor painting might be a valuable resource. Just a thought. I have those sometimes. cheeps, susan www.dalyvoss.com On 1/29/07, Michael Koch-Schulte <mkochsch@shaw.ca> wrote: Molto buon. Lavoro eccellente. Grazie Damiano.
