With all papers I use for vandyke (Arches, Hahnemuehle, Canson) I have
found that adding a good portion of gum to the sensitizer (roughly 1:1,
thus sizing & sensitizing in one go) greatly increases the tonal scale and
makes for a warmer and more intense brown. I also do this with cyanotypes
but with vandykes the effect is more conspicuous.
