Process Description – (50-75 words):

The Gum Bichromate process consists of watercolor or printmaking paper that is soaked in gum dichromate for example. The paper is exposed to some sort of a pigment and brushed with gum. When finished brushing many layers of gum on the paper, then you soak the whole paper in water and let any excesses fall off the gum. Let it dry and then you have a finished image.

Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words):

I think that the process is pretty neat, but a bit time consuming for me. The images seem more saturated and interesting because of it. The process seems to work the best for contemporary or nature shots, but not people necessarily.
