| Thanks, Henk. I love this photograph (what a wonderful composition). I also think there's a really interesting quality to monochrome gums; I've done some on unsized Fabriano (one coat), which I really liked. I saw some monochrome gums in a gallery recently, made by Sookang Kim. Although the prints appeared as a monochromatic gray, they were done in multiple layers. I'm not sure, but I'm *guessing* each layer had a slightly different hue to it, though that certainly wasn't obvious in the final print-- so not sure about that-- but just exquisite work. I was amazed anybody could achieve such a quality with gum.

Started with bromoil printing (no big negs needed :-), thanks to Judy's PostFactory i made the step to gum. Mainly monochrome, also as an alternative to cyanotype, like this one :
Cheers, Henk

I just now had a chance to see this-- what a beautiful photograph and print. Is this the same grandchild in a print you showed some weeks ago-- that was also a gum? You've obviously been making gum prints for a while, I'm guessing. Anyway-- really lovely print and image. I love that steady gaze into the camera. Thanks for posting.
