Description

Remember those really dreamy, far away-looking photos you saw in that old antique shop?

Or remember your great-grad dad's photograph, with that built-in antique quality?

This unique gum bichromate kit allows you to make such prints as easily as ABC!

Gum Bichromate is a contact process which allows layers of colours to be laid down on the image to produce pigmented pictures of unequalled depth.
As the layers of colour are coming from watercolour inks the image creativity is limited only by the paint palette. This process results in images that are both unique and of exceptional quality.

This Kit contains 5 sheets of 8x10'' Canaletto fine are acid free paper,
5 sheets 8x10'' digital contact film (to make contact negative)
250mls each of sizing, sensitising & clearing solutions.
3 tubes of high quality branded water colour paints + protective gloves and full instructions.

All you require is a water proof coating board to attach the image paper and gummed tape to secure.

Today, photographers who choose to work with gum bichromate continue to evolve a process that while photographic, offers a print-making language of unparalleled versatility and richness.

Gum prints can range from large, full colour prints of photographic tonality; to images that seem more akin to painting.

Gum bichromate is a deceptively simple process which involves just a single light sensitive chemical, is developed in water, and can be printed on a variety of papers and other surfaces.

The gum print, unlike most traditional photographic prints, can be physically manipulated to a considerable extent.
During development, when the print is wet and fragile, details can be rubbed out with the use of a brush or water jet.
Images can be re-sensitised and re-exposed several times, either to deepen tone or to achieve definite colour shifts. Tone, texture and colour can all be altered and manipulated.
