Re: First tricolor gum

The yellows I have here at home are Aureolin and New Gamboge, both Dan'l Smith pigments...
 
Maybe I'll try a yellow exposure followed by a final blue one on the print I posted.
 
Thanks all...

Paul,
Welcome to the gum community. The print is very nice. You got the sun exposure/development nicely worked out. FOr a tricolor get a nice intense yellow. A number of them have been sugested here. If you so desire you can print another blue layer just for the shadows (shorter exposure).

OK, I tried a tricolor gum today with the intent of getting true color. Using 1:1 gum/dichromate ratios and sun exposures of 3 minutes and 30-60 minute development, I ended up with this:
 
 
My guess is that I'm not putting enough pigment in my mixes...especially the blue pigment.
 
I used Prussian Blue, Warm Sepia, and Anthraquinoid Red...all Daniel Smith watercolors.

Insert movie times and more without leaving HotmailŪ. See how.
