RE: Tri-Curious Seeks Other Tri-Quad Curious Gummists
I keep a Daniel Smith catalog handy to check on the staining and opacity of different pigments. For instance, opaque pigments - like some of the earth colors - I always apply first. Staining pigments I apply last because they stain less when there is already hardened emulsion present. Yes, I think you'll find your experience will be valuable. -----Original Message----- From: SusanV [mailto:susanvoss3@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 29, 2007 12:12 PM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: 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.
