Gumoil Photographic Printing Revised Edition

<p>There is renewed interest among art photographers in a number of historic printing techniques because of the remarkable effects they produce. The reader will discover how to create beautifully tinted mono- and polychromatic gum and oil images using the author's version of this 19th century technique. Step-by-step illustrated instructions with directions for further experimentation provide a perfect source for learning this new yet old printing technique.<br><br> Gumoil printing involves contact-printing a positive transparency onto gum-coated paper. Oil paint is then applied and rubbed into nongummed areas of the print. With bleach etching mono- and polychromatic variations are possible. A chapter on digital printing combines the new and the historic making this technique even more accessible for the art photographer.</p>
