This workshop will introduce students to the historic process of gum bichromate printing, where photo-sensitized watercolor pigment is brushed onto paper, upon which negatives are placed during exposure to ultraviolet light. The only processing required is rinsing in water to remove unexposed pigment. Multiple layers are made to produce a luminous combination of painting and photography. Students begin with a color digital capture, which will be translated into three color-separated digital negatives. Using cyan, magenta, and yellow pigments, students will print from these negatives to build a multi-layered image. Mixing pigments and preparing digital files for separated negatives will be discussed.
Cap at ten.
